Connectedness feature reference
The highest action-profile cosine similarity between the focal place and any large operational neighbour.
Stored model field:
max_action_cosine_with_large_place
Calculate action-profile cosine similarity only for local neighbours meeting the large-place threshold and retain the maximum; use zero when none qualify.
At least one network-prominent neighbour has a more similar action profile.
These descriptive statistics use the current labelled cohort after aliases have been collapsed to one row per MANTO place.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All labelled places | 255 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.115 | 0.000 | 1.000 |
| Survives | 204 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.121 | 0.000 | 1.000 |
| Does not survive | 51 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.091 | 0.000 | 1.000 |
Examples are descriptive checks on the calculated feature. Their outcome labels report what Pausanias says; they do not establish that the feature caused survival or abandonment.

Its current standardized coefficient is -0.107, pointing toward does not survive. This means that a one-standard-deviation increase changes the fitted log odds in that direction while the other included features are held fixed.
Because the connectedness features are correlated and the model's out-of-fold performance is weak, this is a conditional association—not a standalone ranking, causal effect, or historical explanation.
