CMP & Hierarchy Improvements
Improvements we would like to add to the CMP or hierarchical information processing.
Items that relate to changing the message passing between Monty components (either the routing or the format of the messages), go into this section, as well as items related to passing information up and down the hierarchy (between LMs). Items related to messages passed laterally between LMs (voting) are listed under voting improvements.
Heterarchy vs. Hierarchy
We sometimes use the term heterarchy to express the notion that, similar to the brain, connections in Monty aren't always strictly hierarchical. There are many long-range connections (voting) within the same hierarchical level and across level, as well as skip-connections. Also, every level in the "hierarchy" has a motor output (goal) that it sends to the motor system. To read more about this, see our recent publication Hierarchy or Heterarchy? A Theory of Long-Range Connections for the Sensorimotor Brain.
