Babel

The Semantic Universe

Place 60,000 words from 40 languages by what their English glosses mean — not how they're spelled — and the translations of one idea collapse onto a single point. A 0.6-billion-parameter embedding model, fed nothing but dictionary definitions, rediscovers the architecture of meaning.

This interactive galaxy needs WebGL, which isn't available here. The most cross-lingual ideas — stars where the most languages place a word — are listed below as plain links.
