Knot 🪢

The result of binding (multiplicative composition) of hypervectors. Unlike BindDirect, Knot tracks its member parts for serialization and debugging. See Composites: Knot.

Constructor

# Not directly constructed in Python. Use hv.bind() instead.
k = hv.bind(a, b)

k := hv.NewKnot(hv.NewSeed128(0, 42), partA, partB)

// More commonly via the Bind operator:
k := hv.Bind(a, b)

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let k = Knot::new(Seed128::new(0, 42), parts);
}

An existing Knot can be extended with additional parts via expand. This returns a new Knot (a Knot is an immutable value) — equivalent to re-binding all parts from scratch but without reconstructing the base.

k = hv.bind(a, b)
k2 = k.expand(c)  # k2 is equivalent to hv.bind(a, b, c); k is unchanged

k := hv.Bind(a, b)
k2 := k.Expand(c) // k2 is equivalent to hv.Bind(a, b, c); k is unchanged

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let k = operators::bind_hb(vec![a.clone(), b.clone()]);
let k2 = k.expand(vec![c]); // equivalent to bind_hb(vec![a, b, c]); consumes k
// To keep the original: k.clone().expand(vec![c])
}
