Dictionary antonyms measured

biennial is the dictionary opposite of perennial, yet this model puts it closer than every one of the 2 synonyms it can score. Opposites share the sentences a word lives in, so cosine alone cannot tell them apart - which is why the dictionary seeds this list rather than the geometry.

Shade shows how close the model puts each word to perennial.

These sit just outside the closest neighbours in panel 3, and no dictionary lists any of them as related to perennial. That gap is the model’s own learned association.
