In high dimensions, randomly chosen vectors are very likely nearly orthogonal. I’ll unpack this a little bit then demonstrate it by simulation. Then I’ll look at what happens when we restrict our attention to points with positive coordinates. *** The lengths of vectors don’t contribute to the angles between them,
