hypersphere

Ball in hyperspace

A hypersphere is the higher-dimensional analog of a sphere.

Just as a sphere is the set of all points equidistant from a center in three-dimensional space, a hypersphere is that set in four or more dimensions.

The term appears in mathematics, physics, and computer science, particularly in discussions of high-dimensional geometry and machine learning algorithms.
