Neuniforme

Neuniforme is a term occasionally used to denote non-uniformity in a system, process, or dataset. It is not part of a standard terminology set in major disciplines, and its precise meaning varies by context. In many informal or provisional writings, neuniforme acts as a generic label for any property that does not remain constant or uniform across space, time, or among components. Etymology and spelling typically reflect the negation of "uniform," often aligned with Romance-language conventions for non-uniform forms, but there is no canonical origin.

Usage and interpretations:

- In mathematics and statistics, neuniforme is sometimes used to describe non-uniform distributions or measures, where probability mass or density is not evenly spread.

- In physics and engineering, it can describe spatially varying properties such as density, elastic modulus, or temperature, distinguishing from uniform media.

- In computer science or data analysis, it may denote non-uniform sampling, weighting, or error distributions that require non-uniform treatment in algorithms.

Limitations: Because neuniforme is not a standardized term, its definition should be clarified in any work that uses it, to avoid ambiguity.
