civil is the dictionary opposite of rude, yet this model puts it closer than 3 of the 4 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 rude. 4 of 14 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.
