Subject index

This index points to explanations and worked calculations rather than to isolated mentions. Notebook links use the same local anchors as the book.

Aggregation and counting: Unique backgrounds; equal supported cells; incremental counts and sums.

Alignment: Anchor fit and held-out row; constraints and rank.

Attention: Allocation; source denominators; topic ranking.

Calculus and fitting: Difference quotient, derivative, and ridge minimum; logistic gradient step.

Covariance and variance: Paired-deviation table; people covariance entry; retained variance.

Eigenvectors: Two-coordinate multiplication and maximum variance; people basis.

Evidence: Identity, association, and claim chain; dated Dean journey and event examples.

Geometry: Coordinate versus directional neighbors; compression effects.

Matrices: Product and transpose by hand; notation and shapes.

Normalization and standardization: Length and unit rows; A’s exact normalization; different denominators.

Ontology and probability: Tags, crosswalks, and proposed models; logistic and calibration; person-level substitution.

Projection and residual: First residual; exact round trip; SVD reconstruction.

Rotation and whitening: Rotated covariance arithmetic; article coordinates.

Scores and loadings: Both person dot products; one loading table, two entrances.

Time and version: Fixed ruler and separate clocks; background-only updates.
