Cognitive Bias
Systematic patterns of deviation from rational judgment. Our brains use mental shortcuts that sometimes lead to errors—like confirmation bias, anchoring, or the availability heuristic. Understanding them helps us make better decisions.
Semantically Similar
Concepts with related meaning based on vector similarity
The Dunning-Kruger Effect
A cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge overestimate their competence, while experts underestimate theirs. It explains why beginners often feel confident while masters remain humble—we do...
Occam's Razor
A problem-solving principle that states the simplest explanation is usually correct. When faced with competing hypotheses, choose the one with fewest assumptions. It's a guiding heuristic in science,...
The Overview Effect
A cognitive shift reported by astronauts viewing Earth from space. Seeing our planet as a fragile blue marble floating in darkness triggers profound feelings of unity, interconnectedness, and responsi...
Synesthesia
A neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers automatic experiences in another. Some people see colors when hearing music, or taste shapes. It reveals how our brains construct real...
Neural Networks
Computing systems inspired by biological brains, consisting of interconnected nodes that process information in layers. They learn patterns from data through training, enabling machines to recognize i...
How similarity is calculated
Each concept is converted into a 768-dimensional vector using the nomic-embed-text
model. Similarity scores are calculated using cosine similarity—measuring the angle between vectors.
A score of 100% means identical meaning; lower scores indicate decreasing semantic relatedness.
