This panel splits retour itself, not take — a tokenizer does not care what language it is fed. It is the only panel here that does.

This is the tokenizer splitting text, not the model understanding it.

give is the dictionary opposite of take, yet this model puts it closer than 55 of the 56 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 take, 2 of 8 also appear in the dictionary. 56 of 71 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.

Model neighbours are distributional, not dictionary synonyms. Two words can be close because they appear in similar sentences, which is why an antonym can outscore a synonym here.

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