    experience vector:
 
    An /experience-index/ is an index into the grand experience vector

    First, group the experience-indices into bins according to the
    similarity of their proprioceptive data. I organize my bins into a

+   3 level hierarchy. The smallest bins have an approximate size of
    0.001 radians in all proprioceptive dimensions. Each higher level
    is 10x bigger than the level below it.
 
    The bins serve as a hashing function for proprioceptive data. Given
    a single piece of proprioceptive experience, the bins allow us to
-   rapidly find all other similiar experience-indices of past
-   expreience that had a very similiar proprioceptive configuration.

    When looking up a proprioceptive experience, if the smallest bin
