Church's formalization of computation via replacement operations on strings; one of multiple equivalent formalizations

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.

Contextual constraints (top-down and bottom-up) replace efficient causation in explaining action.claim0.772
