- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity – Modularity – Wikipedia: This page provides a broad definition of modularity as the degree to which a system’s components may be separated and recombined, often with the benefit of flexibility and variety in use. It also explains how the concept of modularity can be extended to multiple disciplines, each with their own nuances. The page also provides contextual examples of modularity across several fields of science, technology, industry, and culture.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(networks) – Modularity (networks) – Wikipedia: This page explains modularity in the context of complex networks. It defines modularity as the fraction of the edges that fall within the given groups minus the expected fraction if edges were randomly distributed. The page also discusses the different methods for calculating modularity and the limitations of the method of modularity maximization.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_design – Modular design – Wikipedia: This page explains modular design as a design principle that subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules, which can be independently created, modified, replaced, or exchanged with other modules or between different systems. The page provides examples of modular systems and explains the benefits of modularity in design.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(biology) – Modularity (biology) – Wikipedia: This page explains modularity in the context of biology. It defines modularity as the ability of a system to organize discrete, individual units that can overall increase the efficiency of network activity and, in a biological sense, facilitates selective forces upon the network. The page also discusses the evolution of modularity and the different evolutionary modes that could have contributed to its development.
