Adding more senses again*

 A.s.a. H. decomposes sensory input into hierarchical sets of commonly recurring patterns. Some concepts (higher up in the hierarchy) involve A.s.a. learning nonlinear functions. With the addition of more sensors it is sometimes possible, instead, for A.s.a. to learn a simpler, possibly even linear, function.
