Dictionary antonyms measured

unable is the dictionary opposite of able, yet this model puts it closer than every one of the 1 synonym 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 able. 1 of 2 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.
