compactness
Squeezed into smallness
Compactness is the quality of being compact—tightly packed, efficiently arranged, or taking up little space.
A suitcase might be praised for its compactness, or a city for the compactness of its downtown.
In mathematics, compactness is a technical property of sets, roughly meaning they are bounded and contain all their limit points.
