. There is no 'ball', so-to-speak, just a representation of an endpoint
(dot). However, in gameplay
, a ball can be a toy (eg. ctf flag🏁, see zero-bubble
). Likewise, macroeconomically, a ball would be lyric (triangulated data point).
Mathematically, it's called a 'ball' (and sometimes 'dot') because as the string folds upon itself, the endpoints (a metric space) coordinate ("connecting the dots") into a loop, and the overall structure usually assumes a shape that is similar to some ovoid with boundary (cf., compact blob) in stereo.
