säteittäminen

Säteittäminen is a Finnish term that translates to "radialization" or "spreading out from a center" in English. It describes a process or phenomenon where something originates from a central point and expands outwards in all directions. This concept can be applied in various contexts, both natural and artificial.

In a natural setting, säteittäminen might refer to the way seeds disperse from a plant, radiating outwards to find new places to grow. It can also describe the spread of a disease from an initial infection point, or the way light emanates from a source. Geologically, it can describe the process of lava flow from a volcanic vent.

In urban planning or design, säteittäminen can describe the layout of a city or transportation network where roads or transit lines converge on a central hub and then spread outwards to serve outlying areas. In a more abstract sense, it can refer to the diffusion of ideas or influence from a central source to a wider audience. The core idea remains consistent: an outward expansion from a singular origin.
