Latomo
Latomo is a term used in speculative contexts to denote a discrete unit within a lattice-like framework. It is not an established scientific term and is primarily used in science fiction and thought experiments to model how information, energy, or matter might be organized in discretized spaces.
In fiction, latomo units are described as small, indivisible modules that can be arranged to build materials,
In theoretical discussions, latomo serves as a heuristic for exploring lattice-based models of computation and information.
Origin and usage notes: The term has appeared in online science-fiction communities and collaborative writing projects.
Related concepts include lattice theory, cellular automata, quasicrystals, spin networks, metamaterials, and information theory.
