WHAT DOES MODULE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Modularity

Modularity is the degree to which a system's components may be separated and recombined. The meaning of the word, however, can vary somewhat by context: ▪ In biology, modularity is the concept that organisms or metabolic pathways are composed of modules. ▪ In construction, modules are a bundle of redundant project components that are produced en masse prior to installation. ▪ In nature, modularity refers to the construction of a cellular organism by joining together standardized units to form larger compositions, as for example, the hexagonal cells in a honeycomb. ▪ In the Five Principles of New Media as defined by Lev Manovich, modularity covers the principle that new media is composed of modules or self-sufficient parts of the overall media object. ▪ In the study of networks, modularity is a benefit function that measures the quality of a division of a network into groups or communities. ▪ In ecology, modularity is considered a key factor – along with diversity and feedback – in supporting resilience. ▪ In mathematics, the term can be used in several different ways.
