👉 In mathematics, a multifold is an object or concept that can have multiple attributes or properties. This often occurs when dealing with objects that are "multi-dimensional" in nature, meaning they exist on more than one dimension. For example, a sphere has three dimensions (x, y, z), but it also has space in the direction of the z-axis. Similarly, a point has two dimensions (x and y) but is also defined by its distance from a specified point (the origin).
