The table is the point cloud the row is the point. The symmetry is permutations of rows or permutations of points.

In which case would you use the whole table?

[whatshisface]

Well yeah, there's no permutation symmetry between columns. (Unless there is...)

Then as parent said, almost all datasets are like point cloud, except time-series datasets.

[whatshisface]

Yeah, they are.
