Line 15:
important property of such high dimensional spaces is that two randomly chosen vectors are relatively far away from each other, meaning that they are uncorrelated.<ref name=integerSDM/> SDM can be considered a realization of [[Locality-sensitive hashing]].
 
The underlying idea behind a SDM is the mapping of a huge binary memory onto a smaller set of physical locations, so-called ''hard locations''. As a general guideline, those hard locations should be uniformly distributed in the [[virtual memory|virtual space]], to mimic the existence of the larger virtual space as accurately as possible. Every datum is stored distributed by a set of hard locations, and retrieved by averaging those locations. Therefore, recall may not be perfect, accuracy depending on the saturation of the memory.
 
Kanerva's proposal is based on four basic ideas:<ref>Mendes, Mateus Daniel Almeida. "Intelligent robot navigation using a sparse distributed memory." Phd thesis, (2010). URL: https://eg.sib.uc.pt/handle/10316/17781</ref>
