What if a flat earther went up into space?
I would see my flat earth begin to curve the further I got from the surface and would eventually see it curve upon itself. It’s never an actual sphere. It’s only perceived as one from an outside observer that isn’t an experiencer (all of which cannot leave the top/center).
A world can’t have a surface where it disappears. Worlds only work where you never run out of surface no matter how far you travel. The only way for this to be accomplished is to give it the mathematical definitions that prevent it from having ends/borders on the map. Euclid shows us how to make a straight line with no beginning or ending. It’s a circle with an infinite radius. What can be done with a line can also be done with a 2D plane.
“In Euclidean geometry, such a "circle of infinite radius" would be a straight line, but in hyperbolic geometry it is a horocycle (a curve).”
