modullimi
Modullimi is a theoretical framework used to analyze and guide the construction of complex systems through modular components. It asserts that robust, scalable behavior emerges from the deliberate design of interoperable modules connected by stable interfaces, rather than from monolithic cores. The term combines a root related to module with a suffix implying process or state.
Origin and scope: The concept has appeared in contemporary systems studies and has been applied in software
Core concepts: Modullimi centers on modular decomposition, interface contracts, versioning, and governance that coordinates module interactions.
Applications and examples: In software engineering, modullimi informs service-oriented and microservices architectures by guiding service contracts
Criticisms: Critics argue that modularity is not a universal remedy and can introduce interface overhead, coordination
