# Direction axes for the Semantic Variation node.
#
# An axis is two small sets of example phrases. The direction is the vector from the centre of `from`
# to the centre of `to` in the embedder's space; with `direction_amount` above 0 every slot leans
# toward `to` when it moves, below 0 toward `from`. Six to ten concrete, visual phrases per side work
# best, and the two sides should differ in ONE quality only - otherwise the axis picks up whatever
# else differs (subject matter, length, style of wording).
#
# Add your own axes in variability/directions_user.yaml (same format; same name = yours replaces this one).
