Definition

Jeder Raum mit mehr als drei Dimensionen ist ein Hyperraum. ^[1] Der Raum muss dabei nicht real als existierenden Raum gedacht werden, es genügt ein hypothetisch gedachter Raum. Das klassische Beispiel ist Einsteins vierdimensionale Raumzeit ↗

Fußnoten

[1] "HYPERSPACE: A space within more than three DIMENSIONs. Any geometrical CONSTRUCTion whose cells or points are characterized by more than three values (->CARTESIAN PRODUCT). Although hyperspaces can be depicted, just as a three-dimensional cube can be projected on a two-dimensional surface so can four-, five-, ... n-dimensional cubes be represented, but it is difficult for the human mind to imagine operating in such spaces. This poses many practical problems of visualizing multi-variate DATA especially in the social sciences." In: Klaus Krippendorf: A Dictionary of Cybernetics. Annaberg School of Economics.
