👉 Ectomorphism is a concept in mathematics and computer science. It refers to a property of mathematical objects where they can be transformed into each other but not inverted. In layman's terms, it means that two or more mathematical entities (like numbers) are indistinguishable from one another without being physically altered. This is different from the concept of "ectomorphism" in physics and chemistry. In physics, for example, a system can be transformed into itself without altering its properties.
