Modularity (General Concept): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity

Title: Modularity – Wikipedia
Summary: Modularity is the degree to which a system’s components can be separated and recombined, often for flexibility and variety in use. It is used to reduce complexity and is applicable across various disciplines, including biology, ecology, complex networks, and technology.

Modularity (Networks): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(networks)

Title: Modularity (networks) – Wikipedia
Summary: Modularity in network science measures the concentration of edges within modules compared to a random distribution. It is used to identify communities in networks and is calculated using various methods, but it has limitations such as overfitting and a resolution limit.

Modular Design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_design

Title: Modular design – Wikipedia
Summary: Modular design is a principle that subdivides a system into independent modules for easier creation, modification, replacement, or exchange. It is characterized by functional partitioning, well-defined interfaces, and the use of industry standards.

Modularity (Biology): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(biology)

Title: Modularity (biology) – Wikipedia
Summary: Modularity in biology refers to the organization of discrete units that can increase the efficiency of network activity and facilitate selective forces. It is observed at various scales, from molecular interactions to whole organisms, and its evolution has been a topic of debate.
