third word

Type a word and it pulls in its neighbours — the words that sit closest to it in a space of meaning. Add another and the map shows where the two neighbourhoods meet, and the bridge of words between them.

It runs entirely in your browser. Point it at a semantic space file (space.bin). It's remembered after the first load.

what this is

Every word here is a point in a space of meaning. Words that mean similar things sit close together; the closeness is measured, not eyeballed.

Type a word and you get its neighbours, in its own colour. Type a few and the map shows where their neighbourhoods overlap, and the shortest bridge of words from each to each.

try this first: type a word, then two or three more, and watch the neighbourhoods meet.
