waiting on centroids…

Think of this as a map of meanings - articles that say similar things sit close together. Each dot marks the centre of one neighbourhood; the black arrow is your query dropped onto the same map. Bright dots are close to your query, faded ones are far away. The search peeks inside the nearest neighbourhoods (highlighted blue) and ranks the articles it finds; orange-ringed dots are the neighbourhoods that produced your top results. The real map has 384 dimensions - what you see is a 3D shadow of it, so dots that look close here are roughly related, not exactly.
