# Slot: of 


_Name of the input this step consumes — the positions for `pairwise_distance` / `distribution_pdf`, the matrix for `normalize`, the compared quantity for `stochastic_mask`, and for `sample` (which consumes no array) the Distribution-valued generator parameter to draw from. It names either a previously defined step or a generator parameter; steps are ordered, so a referenced step must already be defined._
