If you disagree, you can respond with a working example.

I am the working example. I can read texts and answer questions. HTM is an attempt to explain how I do that. Obviously, it's an incomplete theory, but its main ideas make sense to me. You got a better theory?

I don't have a better theory, but that wasn't my point. It may be that there is a setup to read and understand language, but there has never been code presented based on this technology that does it. This is why I'm interested to see how you could set it up to make it work. If you could prove me wrong, then great! I'd love to see it.

HTM is a theory. It's very incomplete at this point, because our understanding of the brain is very incomplete. Numenta published their code as they discover more and more about the brain. Once the system is complete enough to process language, the code will be able to process language.
