Subspace tensor matrix

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

A subspace tensor matrix is a construct which can be used to create artificial lifeforms.

Doctor Lenara Kahn devised a technique for creating artificial wormholes which involved generating a subspace tensor matrix in the 25,000-30,000 cochrane range, and then sending out a magneton pulse using a target drone. (DS9: "Rejoined")

In mathematics, a tensor is a complex analytic structure similar to a mathematical matrix that precisely describes the geometry of an object (most famously the geometry of space-time in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity) and obeys certain transformation rules. It is unsure what relation (if any) the mathematical object has to subspace tensor matricies.
