Uncertainty metabolization
associated_with
The process by which the nervous system extracts value from sensations and excretes remaining information; tanha is excessive forcefulness here.

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.
