👉 Granolithic is a term used in mathematics to describe an object that contains many parts, each of which are smaller than the previous one. This type of object can be thought of as a "granite" or "granite-like" material. The term was coined by mathematician Richard Courant. For example, a granolithic sphere could have many layers of material, each layer being made up of smaller spheres. These small spheres would be joined together at the center to form the entire object.
