A compositional morpheme tokenizer built on holographic reduced representations

Each word becomes one fixed-width vector binding prefix, root, and suffix with circular convolution, so morphemes can be algebraically recovered.

Turns each word into one fixed-width vector by binding prefix pp, root mm, and suffix ss to unitary role vectors with circular convolution:

w=rpre⊛p  +  rroot⊛m  +  rsuf⊛sw = r_{\text{pre}} \circledast p \;+\; r_{\text{root}} \circledast m \;+\; r_{\text{suf}} \circledast s

Morphemes can then be algebraically recovered, and related words land near each other. It is an embedding layer for experimental models, not a drop-in replacement tokenizer.
