<p>Implements a macroscopic algorithmic ersatz of VSA some operations</p>
<div style='float:right;margin-left:20px'><a target=_blank' href='https://line.gitlabpages.inria.fr/aide-group/aide/index.html'><img alt='AIDE API docs' src='https://line.gitlabpages.inria.fr/aide-group/aide/img/icons8-api-aide.png'/></a></div>
<h3>This only an alpha version, better contact us to discuss, what it is and how to use it :)</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
