## Projections

This distribution takes a random uniform value and outputs it as many possible types. The primary idea is that you are able to query Z as a random uniform distribution, even if the gan is using a spherical representation.

Some projection types are listed below.

**"identity" projection**

**"gaussian" projection**

**"modal" projection**

One of many

**"binary" projection**

On/Off

## Category Distribution

Uses categorical prior to choose 'one-of-many' options.
