Level 2 · Locality

400 words from materials, colour & texture, on the 20 × 20 lattice of 250 m cells they address. Each word is tinted by its meaning vector — the same colour its 3-D marker takes on the map — so reading the grid shows the semantic gradient directly.

Neighbour similarity: 0.5354
Random pair: 0.4147

These labels are the hand-written groups the candidate words came from. They are used for display only — the actual placement is decided by the embedding model and may disagree with them, which is usually a sign the model found a better grouping than the curator did.
