individe
Individe is a theoretical operation used to partition a structure into its most basic, non-decomposable components under a specified decomposition relation. The term blends indivisible and divide, and it appears in speculative mathematics and discussions about data organization and modular design.
Formally, let X be a structure and D a relation that describes allowable subdecompositions (such as a
Examples and analogies help intuition. In graph theory, if D corresponds to the relation of connectivity, the
