The Thousand Brains: A Revolutionary Theory of Intelligence
Imagine holding a coffee cup. Your fingers feel the smooth ceramic, your eyes track its contours, and without conscious thought, you know exactly how to lift it. This seemingly simple act reveals something profound about our brains-they're not just processing information; they're predicting, modeling, and navigating reality through thousands of parallel systems. This is the heart of Jeff Hawkins' groundbreaking "Thousand Brains Theory," a framework that could transform our understanding of intelligence itself. After fifteen years of research, Hawkins experienced his eureka moment in 2016: the neocortex-that wrinkled outer layer comprising 70% of the human brain-doesn't create just one model of the world but thousands simultaneously. Each of the brain's 150,000 cortical columns functions as a semi-independent learning system, with 100,000 neurons forming roughly 500 million connections, all compressed into the volume of a grain of rice. Together, they create the most sophisticated intelligence system known in the universe.
