• Abstract: This work introduces a new computational theory of mind grounded in set theory and hyperdimensional computing. Whereas traditional neural networks rely on continuous weights and matrix multiplication, this framework works with sparse binary data. It represents information as discrete sets, directly modeling biological neural population codes. I demonstrate that associative memory emerges naturally from network topologies featuring a combinatorially expanded hidden layer. Learning is driven by topological plasticity rather than scalar weight adjustments. This architecture unifies auto-associative and hetero-associative learning under a single core algorithm: information retrieval via subset pattern matching and exact nearest-neighbor search. Operating with constant-time complexity, these mechanisms bridge perceptual data (sparse distributed representations) and symbols (sparse holographic representations) without continuous bottlenecks. Mapping this framework to neuroanatomy, I propose that both the cerebellum and the neocortex implement variants of this algorithm, making subset pattern matching the fundamental engine of cognition. Because it relies on discrete logic rather than matrix arithmetic, this algorithm translates directly into in-memory hardware. This opens a new route toward synthetic intelligence with human-level energy efficiency.

• Binary autoencoder with random binary weights [0.0]
  It is shown that the sparse activation of the hidden layer arises naturally in order to preserve information between layers. With a large enough hidden layer, it is possible to get zero reconstruction error for any input just by varying the thresholds of neurons. The model is similar to an olfactory perception system of a fruit fly, and the presented theoretical results give useful insights toward understanding more complex neural networks.
