Vector

Semantic position array

Definition

Mechanism

A multi-dimensional array of numbers. The space it indexes is the caller's — semantic embeddings, statistical samples, geometric coordinates — and the pattern fixes only that the values are numeric and ordered.

Invariants

  1. `dimensions` equals the length of `values`.

Risks

Failure modes

None stated.
