cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- The biological mechanism by which chemical gradients create developmental patterns; cited as insufficient to explain coherence of embryological unfolding as a whole
- The location of a room within the building in relation to movement, light, and connection to the outdoors; the first stage of unfolding.
- The goal of making model behavior match human values and intentions, often addressed during post-training.
- Mechanism for encoding sequence order in transformers; paper argues these should reflect learned structural representations rather than fixed sines/cosines.
- Primary move: positioning elements as an act of division and distinction, the first gesture that defines the spatial field.
