The smooth, non-self-intersecting inclusion of an $n$-dimensional topological manifold into an $m$-dimensional Euclidean space.
Relational Analysis & Epistemic Context
Used to understand how 2D texture surfaces embed in 3D world space, or how 3D color gamut hulls embed in human perceptual spectral spaces.
