Question on holographic interpretation #4

Open ellenhsieh opened 5 years ago

ellenhsieh commented 5 years ago

Thank you for presenting this interesting paper to us! Since I am new to political science and machine learning, I am still a little confused about the meaning of holographic interpretation. In your paper, it mentions that "This might be referred to as the holographic interpretation of ideology in that issue preferences are understood as a higher-dimensional representation of information existing in a low-dimensional ideological space." Would you mind to talk a little bit more about what is a higher-dimensional representation of information and low-dimensional ideology space in political science?
