Take a new snapshot of a software origin

If the archived software origin currently browsed is not synchronized with its upstream version (for instance when new commits have been issued), you can explicitly request Software Heritage to take a new snapshot of it.

Use the form below to proceed. Once a request has been submitted and accepted, it will be processed as soon as possible. You can then check its processing state by visiting this dedicated page.

### This only an alpha version, better contact us to discuss, what it is and how to use it :)

The usual Vector Symbolic Architecture are implemented at microscopic using, e.g., the Neural Engineering Framework allowing a microscopic simulation of the neuronal processes, at the spiking neural network level. At a higher scale, when implemented using Semantic Pointer Architecture, based on linear algebra and permutation operations, thus at a mesoscopic scale, it allows to perform the same operations, but without explicitizing the neural state value and evolution.

A step further, at a higher macroscopic scale, we could directly consider the previous operations predicting the result of the different algebraic operations without explicitly calculating on vector components. This could be called an ``algorithmic ersatz'', and this is what is implemented here.

Please refer to the draft in submission regarding:
- [Algorithmic ersatz for VSA](https://www.overleaf.com/read/pmjznjqsctym)
  - with the related [numerical results](./macrovsa_experiments.pdf)
  - and related [inference mechanism trace](small_pizza_experiments.out.txt).
- [Biologically plausible reasoning embedded in neuronal computation](https://www.overleaf.com/read/kjwbnzkpvdxq#09e17b)
  - with the related [inference mechanism trace](pizza_experiments.out.txt).
