https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compactification%20%28mathematics%29
In mathematics, in general topology, compactification is the process or result of making a topological space into a compact space. A compact space is a space in which every open cover of the space contains a finite subcover. The methods of compactification are various, but each is a way of controlling points from "goin...
