disambiguation-conductances]Note for disambiguated encoding-retrieval implementation: Implement recurrents with a maximum conductance low enough to be ineffective during low theta modulation in encoding phases, but able to complete patterns during high theta modulation in retrieval phases.
For the theta modulation to do its part it is important that afferent input from ECIIcanm arrives around the peak of the encoding phase, not during the retrieval phase.
With this method of disambiguation, it might even be possible to have STM retrieval (with strengthening of episodes during retrieval) and encoding of another sequence going on at the same time!

So if the user picks words at random from the dictionary and the system knows all those words and no others, then the disambiguator will have to be used for less than 10% of words.
In fact, for even fewer than that, if the first guess made by T9 is correct, as is often the case.
The worst-case number of keypresses that the user has to make, given a dictionary word, is thus ten scroll-commands on top of the original word.
