Mathelirium(@mathelirium):The High-Dimensional Ball Is Full, but Its Probability Mass Lives Near the Boundary High-dimensional probability is weird. As the dimension grows, a uniform point in the ball does not usually land deep inside. Most of the mass gets pushed into a very thin shell near the boundary.
