HYPERSPACE

A space within more than three dimensions. Any geometrical construction whose cells or points are characterized by more than three values (see 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. (Krippendorff)
