英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The set of all points in a given hyperspace that are at a given distance from a given point; a generalization of a sphere in four or more dimensions.
    — The timing and location of these battles have not been established. “Sphere” in this context is a hypersphere made up of complexes of two and three-D surfaces, or membranes, shortened in this translation to “branes,” extending into higher dimensions that combine vectors of transit, but also scalar tactical probabilities—a difficult concept to grasp, but essential to understanding Forerunner warfare.
  2. A zorb; the act of zorbing, entering a zorbing ball, strapping into a harness, and rolling down a hill.
