hyperbolic space info for the 500 words

Adam, this is the 100word on the hyperbolic space for the 500 words. hope that it helps.

Hyperbolic space.

The concept of a hyperbolic space is that as a position moves further away from a point on a plane, it expands. This does not sound too complicated but, visualizing the definition is very difficult. One of the first representations of a hyperbolic space was done with a crochet. Increasing the number of stitches every row allows the 2 dimensional planes to expand to a 3 dimensional form. In mathematics, a hyperbolic function has a very similar nature as it expands in value along the x and the y axis. An example of a hyperbolic space from the nature is the coral reefs.
