The finale states the honesty boundary. The book pins vector geometry and named cosine length, not claims about where real embeddings come from or what words mean.

What is exact

The exact register is the assigned vector table plus integer dot products. The nearest-by-dot result is kitten because the exact dot is 7 rather than 6.

What is not claimed

These are assigned toy coordinate vectors. This does not claim learned embeddings, does not claim meaning or semantics, and does not claim understanding. The book pins the geometry: vector lookup, dot product, argmax, and named cosine length.

Summary

These are assigned toy coordinate vectors with exact integer dot products. This pins the geometric mechanics; it does not claim learned embeddings, does not claim meaning or semantics, and does not claim understanding. The useful split is exact integer alignment by dot product, plus a named square-root boundary if cosine length is shown.
