The hierarchical orthogonality property in LLaMA-3 holds across both WordNet noun and verb hierarchies.

Summary

LLaMA-3 internally organizes word meanings so that the noun-based and verb-based semantic hierarchies are structurally independent of each other, with clean separation at every level. This matters because it means the system can reason about noun and verb meanings as two separate, non-interfering domains, and any structural guarantee proven for one hierarchy automatically applies to the other.
