Proposed universal invariant of cognition and intelligence—capacity for goal-directed activity in a problem space, independent of substrate or embodiment.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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