Cosine similarity compares direction while a dot product also keeps magnitude
Compare cosine similarity and dot products with a small vector example, then check how normalisation affects an AI retrieval system.

Understand an embedding as a learned numerical representation without assuming each coordinate has a tidy human-readable meaning.

Understand why embedding similarity can retrieve related sentences that disagree, and test negation, numbers and conditions before using a score as evidence.
