Dictionary antonyms measured

decrease0.10 nondevelopment decrement

decrease is the dictionary opposite of growth, yet this model puts it closer than 6 of the 9 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 growth, 3 of 8 also appear in the dictionary.

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