So, this post below partially answers my original question, i.e. the project might get there at some point, but it’s probably too early to approach the subject the way I did. Although, my focus is more on the overall heterarchy than causal modeling, so the topic might eventually become relevant.

> Hi @markellingsen as @brainwaves mentioned, one of the key premises of the thousand brains theory is that the neocortex implements the same basic algorithm everywhere, including in the prefrontal cortex. So we are not explicitly looking into modeling the prefrontal cortex, but at modeling the general computational mechanisms implemented in every cortical column. We are not yet at the stage where we model and analyze a large number of learning modules (our implementation of the basic cortical co…
