Cos you didn't work out what cortex does, exactly.

I think there has to be something a bit more specific to get a patent. I don't
know what the learning algorithm is, even though I have some good constraints on
what it must look like. Anyway, I'll be happy if someone proves my theory correct 
by building a machine that implements my ideas.
