subspaces
Spaces within spaces
Subspaces is the plural of subspace.
In mathematics, a subspace is a subset of a vector space that is itself a vector space under the same operations: The solution set forms a subspace of three-dimensional space.
In science fiction, subspace is an alternate dimension allowing faster-than-light communication or travel—a staple of Star Trek and similar franchises.
More loosely, subspace can mean any subordinate or nested space within a larger one.
