modularity
This term describes a structural philosophy where a complex system is broken down into smaller, independent parts. It carries a strong connotation of efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. In engineering and architecture, it refers to the physical ability to swap components; in computing, it refers to the logical separation of code to prevent a "monolithic" structure where one change breaks the entire system.
As an abstract quality or a measure of degree, this word is used exclusively as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form because it describes a characteristic or a property of a system rather than a discrete object.
