👉 The phrase "pherecratic" is a term in the mathematical field of algebraic topology, specifically used to denote a topological space that has the property of being homeomorphic to its fundamental group. The fundamental group of an object X in a category is defined as the set of homotopies between all paths from the identity element of the topology on X to itself, where two paths are considered equal if they have the same length and start at the same point. In other words, it
