Gradients play a large role in nature (mountains, electric fields, embryos, rivers) and are mirrored by the success of mathematical tools like tensor calculus.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Gradients are nearly non-existent in the modern environment because naive standardization, mass-production, and regulation of sizes all work against their formationclaim0.815
  Claim that one of the most powerful forms of life has been almost removed from the environment by industrial production norms
• Gradientsconcept0.781
  The property that qualities vary slowly, subtly, gradually across the extent of each living thing; gradients arise as natural responses to changing circumstances and create field-like character that points toward and establishes centers
• The magnitude of the normalized gradients (choice of αk) plays an important role in performance.claim0.778
  Insight about gradient normalization scaling.
• The gradient ∇θL is an inherently signed, directional quantity; a system with access to error magnitude but not directional valence cannot compute itclaim0.763
  Mathematical constraint showing that backpropagation requires signed information
• Levels of scale appear pervasively in natural systems such as trees, cells, rivers, mountain ranges, and galaxies.claim0.759
• The geometry of space plays an enormous role in the presence or absence of deep human life: centers in space either support or hinder the evolution of free life.claim0.758
  Synthesis of geometry and life.
• Curved manifolds often represent concepts better than linear directions.claim0.750
  Proposes that nonlinear geometric structure is superior to linear feature spaces for capturing semantic content.
• The impact of the geometry of the environment—its living or not-living structure—has a trace-like, catalytic effect on emotional, social, spiritual, and physical well-being.claim0.750
  Analogy to trace elements and enzymes.
