Modular Decomposition & Substitutability

Primes about organizing complex systems into independent, interchangeable parts, covering modularity, layered abstraction strata, fungible units that substitute freely, and designing components to be revised or adapted over a lifecycle.

4 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
