pilkkovälitteisesti

pilkkovälitteisesti is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "mediated by fragmentation" or "indirectly via breakdown." It refers to a process or phenomenon where an outcome is achieved not through direct action, but through a series of intermediate steps involving the disintegration or separation of something. This concept is often used in scientific or technical contexts, particularly in chemistry and biology, to describe how complex molecules are broken down into simpler components that then trigger further reactions or effects. For example, a medication might be administered in a form that needs to be broken down by the body's enzymes before it can become biologically active. The active form is therefore "pilkkovälitteisesti" achieved. In a broader sense, it can also describe situations where a larger issue or problem is addressed by tackling its constituent parts individually, with the resolution of these smaller fragments indirectly leading to the solution of the original problem. This approach emphasizes the indirect causality and the importance of intermediate stages in reaching a final state or result.
