Module 1: Foundations of Vector Symbolic Architectures

Welcome to Module 1! This module introduces the foundational concepts of VSA/HDC.

Module Overview

Learning Objectives: - Understand why high-dimensional vectors enable symbolic computation - Master the two fundamental operations: binding and bundling - Learn the three VSA models in VSAX (FHRR, MAP, Binary) - Write your first VSAX program

Duration: ~3-4 hours

Prerequisites: Basic Python, NumPy knowledge
