setka

Setka (from Russian сетка, meaning 'net' or 'grid') is a term used in Slavic languages to denote a structured lattice, mesh, or network. It describes a regular arrangement of crossing lines or elements that subdivides space into cells and serves as a general metaphor for an organizing framework.

In mathematics and computer graphics, a setka refers to a grid or mesh used to discretize space for computation. Square, hexagonal, or irregular lattices provide the scaffolding for simulations, finite-element methods, and texture mapping, enabling analysis and rendering in a structured way.

In sports, the word is used to mean netting, particularly the goal net in ball-and-stick games. The term can also appear in sports reporting to describe a successful score when the ball passes through the setka.

In publishing and software, Setka is a brand name associated with a grid-based content-editing tool, Setka Editor. The editor emphasizes a modular, block-based layout system that supports responsive design and structured article creation.

Different languages and industries adopt the term with nuances, but the common thread is a notion of order, lattice, or framework. See also grid, lattice, mesh, net.
