In terms of (Artificial) Neural Networks it implies their internal representation is functional not merely symbolic. Soumith has shown this applies to visual modalities and smile vectors or wearing sunglasses vectors are similarly present[1]. This types of vector algebra has some use in translating between languages and modalities. Karpathy[2] has demonstrated an internal vector of a descriptive sentence can 'plugged…
