Very nice tutorial!

One question:
A word near the origin (0,0,0 ...) in the n-space has less possibility to be the result of an addition among words. As opposite, a word very distant of the origin could be the result of many possible additions among many words. Does this mean that complex concepts are far for the origin and basic concepts are near?
