C2 Proficiency US //ˌhaɪpɝˈspeɪs// UK //hˈaɪpəspˌeɪs// hy·per·space Mathematics
Definition

n. a mathematical space that has more than three dimensions. It is used to describe complex shapes and data that cannot fit into our normal 3D world.

n. a mathematical space with more than three dimensions. Often used in topology and geometry to describe manifolds or data sets that require higher-dimensional representation.


SIMPLE

The mathematician studied how shapes behave in hyperspace.

CONTEXTUAL

To visualize the complex data set, the researchers projected it into a lower-dimensional space from its original hyperspace.

COMPLEX

While we can only perceive three spatial dimensions, the theoretical framework of general relativity suggests that our universe might be embedded within a higher-dimensional hyperspace.

Origin

From hyper- + space.
