An embedding is a fixed-length numeric vector produced by a neural network (encoder) that maps discrete inputs — tokens, images, or structured records — into a continuous metric space. The mapping is trained to preserve relational structure: inputs sharing semantic or functional similarity are placed near each other in vector distance. Persistence is through saved model weights and serialized vector files (e.g. .npy, .bin) distributed with the model. The embedding space is defined by its dimensionality (d), the distance metric (typically cosine or L2), and the training objective (contrastive, autoencoder, or next-token prediction). The encoder network applies learned linear and non-linear transformations to input token IDs or pixel arrays, producing a d-dimensional vector that serves as the input for downstream models.\n\n[formal: embeddere | substrate: mind | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition properly carves: fixed-length numeric vector, produced by neural network encoder, maps discrete inputs into continuous metric space, trained to preserve semantic relationships. Trailer present with form/substrate/horizon/epoch. Law 4 (carve) and Law 6 (trailer) satisfied.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition correctly carves the concept: fixed-length numeric vector, continuous metric space, trained to preserve semantic similarity. Includes parameters and persistence mechanism. Trailer present (Laws 4, 6).
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition carves: fixed-length numeric vector from a neural network encoder, maps discrete inputs into continuous metric space, trained to preserve similarity. Parameters (fixed-length, metric space, training objective) and persistence mechanism (trained weights) are stated. Ends with proper trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves: fixed-length numeric vector produced by neural network encoder, maps discrete inputs to continuous metric space. Proper trailer included.
