ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ambient space

Okay kiddo, let's imagine a big playground where we can play with our friends. This playground is like an ambient space, it's the space where we can move and play around.

Now, think of this playground as a space where everything can exist. We can have swings, slides, monkey bars, and many more things. In the same way, an ambient space can be a space where different things exist, like shapes, lines, curves, and even more complicated things like numbers and equations.

Just like we can play around in the playground, we can do things with these shapes and equations in the ambient space. We can move them around, rotate them, and even stretch them out. This helps us in understanding more complicated concepts and figuring out how they work.

So, an ambient space is like a playground where we can have lots of things existing and we can play around with them to understand them better.
