def numenta_new_local_inhibition(self, X, Y):

    Weight updates for the new local inhibition procedure (experimental and work in progress).

    See "Numenta’s local inhibition revisited" (Section 6) in `latex/notes.pdf`.

    Note that we directly encode the "activation probability" $a_{ij}$ as $h_{ij}$. 
    This is just a temporary hack. In Consequence, the hidden-to-hidden connections 
    are NOT symmetric anymore!
