withinstructure
Withinstructure is a term used in theoretical discussions of how the internal organization of a system is arranged. It denotes the arrangement and interactions of components inside a structure, distinct from external interfaces or environments. The concept emphasizes internal coherence, modular boundaries, and the internal flow of information or dependencies.
Applications appear in several disciplines. In software engineering, withinstructure relates to internal module design, including responsibilities,
Key characteristics include clear internal boundaries between subcomponents, high cohesion within modules, low internal coupling, well-defined
