A dyson is a type of high dimensional structure designed to either channel or contain multidimensional objects, structures, or lifeforms. They are named after Jace Dyson, the 22nd century mathematician and physicist who pioneered work in multidimensional construction. While dyson can refer to any type of multidimensional structure, in recent times it has come to refer specifically to higher dimensional containment structures with a distinctive helical shape.
It is common to append a number to the word dyson, such as "dyson-5" to specify directly how many dimensions a particular dyson structure reaches into.
