	~~These~~ functions ~~provide essential tools~~ for ~~working with vectors in~~ mathematical ~~computations~~, ~~enabling vector analysis and similarity calculations in SCM programs~~.		The '''Vectors''' module treats numeric lists as vectors. Its current public primitive, <code>dot</code>, supports a normal dot product plus modes named <code>COSINE</code> and <code>EUCLIDEAN</code>. Vector functions are useful for scoring and mathematical expressions but do not by themselves provide storage, dimensional validation, or an approximate-nearest-neighbor index.

	~~← Back to [[Full SCM API documentation]]~~		The implementation processes only positions present in both input lists. Callers must therefore validate equal dimensions when that is part of the data contract. In commit <code>c42e19eba</code>, <code>EUCLIDEAN</code> returns the square root of the accumulated pairwise products; this is '''not''' the standard Euclidean distance <code>sqrt(sum((a-b)^2))</code>. Do not use that mode as a distance metric without accounting for this compatibility behavior.
