[Verse 1] Each column stands like a watchtower tall A sensorimotor model processing all Reference frames embedded deep inside Coordinates that help the neurons guide From fingertip touch to visual scene Every column builds what the world might mean [Chorus] Columns vote, columns learn, columns bind the patterns tight Grid cells dance through cortex lands, mapping space and time tonight HTM algorithms flow, hierarchical and true Temporal memory weaves the threads of everything we knew Vote and learn, bind and flow That's how consciousness can grow [Verse 2] Not just entorhinal cortex holds the key Grid-cell computation spreads through all we see Hexagonal patterns pulse through every layer Neural democracy makes predictions fairer Each cortical column casts its ballot wide Consensus emerges from the voting tide [Chorus] Columns vote, columns learn, columns bind the patterns tight Grid cells dance through cortex lands, mapping space and time tonight HTM algorithms flow, hierarchical and true Temporal memory weaves the threads of everything we knew Vote and learn, bind and flow That's how consciousness can grow [Bridge] Reference frames anchor what we perceive Coordinate systems help the brain believe Transformation matrices spin and turn Teaching every column what to learn From motor cortex down to visual streams The same algorithm runs through all our dreams [Verse 3] Hierarchical temporal memory climbs From simple features to complex paradigms Sparse distributed representations rise Prediction engines behind our eyes Each level votes upon the next Building meaning from neural text [Verse 4] Displacement cells and object vectors flow Through laminar circuits high and low Sensory prediction meets motor command In cortical columns across the land Temporal sequences learn to bind The future patterns we're sure to find [Chorus] Columns vote, columns learn, columns bind the patterns tight Grid cells dance through cortex lands, mapping space and time tonight HTM algorithms flow, hierarchical and true Temporal memory weaves the threads of everything we knew Vote and learn, bind and flow That's how consciousness can grow [Outro] Sensorimotor models everywhere Cortical democracy beyond compare The voting never stops, the patterns never cease In neural coordination, consciousness finds peace
