gollark: Idea: time sphere.
gollark: Anyway, I think it's because you can consider the problem of designing an error correction code similarly to packing spheres, because each sphere of radius n represents all the possible values n bit errors away from a value being transmitted and you want them to not overlap.
gollark: Like cows.
gollark: Bees are spheres. QED.
gollark: I'm sure I read about the sphere packing thingy being investigated in higher dimensions, if not packing in general.
