Geometric Analogue of Holographic Reduced Representation

Abstract

Holographic reduced representations (HRR) are based on superpositions of convolution-bound nnn-tuples, but the nnn-tuples cannot be regarded as vectors since the formalism is basis dependent. This is why HRR cannot be associated with geometric structures. Replacing convolutions by geometric products one arrives at reduced representations analogous to HRR but interpretable in terms of geometry. Variable bindings occurring in both HRR and its geometric analogue mathematically correspond to two different representations of Z2×...×Z2Z_2\times...\times Z_2Z2​×...×Z2​ (the additive group of binary nnn-tuples with addition modulo 2). As opposed to standard HRR, variable binding performed by means of geometric product allows for computing exact inverses of all nonzero vectors, a procedure even simpler than approximate inverses employed in HRR. The formal structure of the new reduced representation is analogous to cartoon computation, a geometric analogue of quantum computation.
