Bridging Silicon and the Hippocampus: Algebro-Deterministic Memory "VaCoAl" as a Substrate for Vector-HaSH and TEM
The paper discusses a new memory architecture called VaCoAl, which integrates concepts from computational neuroscience and hyperdimensional engineering. It proposes that VaCoAl can serve as a substrate for existing models of memory, specifically Vector-HaSH and the Tolman-Eichenbaum Machine. The authors provide formal correspondences and predictions that bridge these fields, emphasizing the architectural similarities with evolutionary conserved pathways in the brain.
- ▪VaCoAl is an algebro-deterministic hyperdimensional memory architecture built from Galois-field LFSRs.
- ▪The architecture provides a substrate-level alternative to existing memory models, satisfying quasi-orthogonality requirements.
- ▪The study derives testable predictions based on the proposed model and its correspondence with hippocampal computation.
