osittais
Osittais is a theoretical framework in the field of systems science and information theory that examines how complex systems can be understood through partially interacting components. The term derives from the Finnish word osittainen meaning partial, and is used to highlight the presence of partial couplings within a system rather than fully integrated interactions.
Core concepts include osittains, the partial components that make up a system; partial interfaces, which define
The framework emphasizes decomposability and emergent properties that arise from partial couplings. It provides formal notions
Applications span software engineering, where osittais guide modular design and interface documentation; data analysis of partially
Related concepts include modularity, system theory, partial information, and interface theory. Further reading centers on partiality
