other uses of Modularity Many organisms consist of modules , both anatomically and in their metabolism . Anatomical modules are usually segments or organs. When we look at illustrations of metabolic reactions, we find that they, too, are modular we can clearly identify, for instance, the citric acid cycle as a complex network that has only a few interfaces with other such modules. This principle holds true at various scales we can identify smaller modules within such larger networks that are similarly self contained. We say that metabolic modularity is Scale free network scale free . In addition to showing scalefree and small world network small world properties, biological networks appear to exhibit modularity in topological structure. In the field of network biology, the definition of nodes and edges in a given network depends on the type of network examined. For example, in a protein interaction network , nodes correspond with individual proteins and edges represent the interactions between them either through direct physical interaction, or compound mediated . Metabolic network s, on the other hand, contain metabolite nodes and edges that represent the specific enzymes that connect them in catalyzing biochemical reactions . As with any type of network, modularity in biological networks allows sub groups of nodes and edges to function in a semi autonomous fashion . The concept of modularity resurfaces at the scale of organs and developmental units.

In mathematics the modularity theorem formerly called the Taniyama Shimura Weil conjecture and several related names states that elliptic curve s over the field of rational number s are related to modular form s. Andrew Wiles proved the modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves, which was enough to imply Fermat s last theorem , and Christophe Breuil , Brian Conrad , Fred Diamond , and Richard Taylor mathematician Richard Taylor extended his techniques to prove the full modularity theorem in 2001. The modularity theorem is a special case of more general conjectures due to Robert Langlands . The Langlands program seeks to attach an automorphic form or automorphic representation a suitable generalization of a modular form to more general objects of arithmetic algebraic geometry, such as to every elliptic curve over a number field . Most cases of these extended conjectures have not yet been proved. Statement The theorem states that any elliptic curve over Q can be obtained via a rational map with integer coefficient s from the classical modular curve math X 0 N math for some integer N this is a curve with integer coefficients with an explicit definition.

Unreferenced date March 2007 Portal Software Testing Modularity driven testing is a term used in the testing of software . Test Script Modularity Framework The test script modularity framework requires the creation of small, independent scripts that represent modules, sections, and functions of the application under test. These small scripts are then used in a hierarchical fashion to construct larger tests, realizing a particular test case. Of all the frameworks, this one should be the simplest to grasp and master. It is a well known programming strategy to build an abstraction layer in front of a component to hide the component from the rest of the application. This insulates the application from modifications in the component and provides modularity in the application design. The test script modularity framework applies this principle of abstraction or encapsulation in order to improve the maintainability and scalability of automated test suites.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Genetic architecture refers to the underlying genetic basis of a phenotype phenotypic Trait biological trait . A synonymous term is the genotype phenotype map , the way that genotypes map to the phenotypes. The genotype phenotype map has been analyzed in terms of several principal axes epistasis, polygeny, pleiotropy, quasi continuity, modularity, phenotypic plasticity, robustness, and evolvability. Epistasis when the alleles at one Locus genetics locus change the phenotypic effects of genetic variation at another locus, the two genes are said to exhibit epistasis in their interactions. Polygeny when multiple genes contribute to a particular phenotypic character, the map is said to possess polygeny . The genetic architecture in cases of polygeny can be further characterized by the spectrum of contributions of the genes, e.g. many genes of small effect vs. few genes of large effect. Pleiotropy when multiple phenotypic characters are affected by a single genetic variation, the map is said to possess pleiotropy . Quasi continuity when small genetic changes map to small phenotypic changes, the map is said to possess Lewontin quasi continuity Lewontin . Modularity when two different phenotypic characters can be mapped to mostly non overlapping sets of genes, the map is said to possess modularity , though this concept is still in flux in the scientific literature. Phenotypic plasticity Plasticity when a single genotype gives rise to a spectrum of phenotypes, the phenotype is said to have plasticity . The plasticity may occur as different phenotypes among different individuals of the same genotype, or different phenotypes within the lifetime of a single individual, or different phenotypes in response to specific environmental conditions. Mutational robustness when the same phenotype occurs in an organism despite a variety of environmental perturbations, it is said to be robust .

Evolutionary Logic is the idea that logical rules can be reduction philosophy reduced to biology. It is a theory of rationality in which rational and logical rules emerged for pragmatic reasons, and are therefore not special laws. The formal systems of logic have ordinarily been studied independently, but continual progress in evolutionary theory suggests that biology and logic could be intimately interrelated. Evolutionary Logic suggests that the principles of reasoning are neither fixed, absolute, independent, nor elemental. Instead it is the evolutionary dynamic that is elemental. William S. Cooper argues in the book The Evolution of Reason that logical rules are derived directly from evolutionary principles. ref William S. Cooper. The Evolution of Reason Logic as a Branch of Biology . Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology. ISBN 978 0521540254 ref Logical rules are derived directly from evolutionary principles, and therefore, have no metaphysical status of their own.

Brown s early experiments in this area were extreme and abstract a collection of works titled FOLIO and FOUR SYSTEMS are emblematic of his initial experiments. Over his career, he developed an approach to Open Form that integrated unique approaches to modularity in form that he compared to the mobiles of Alexander Calder . Within this framework, bits of music would be composed as numbered or cued events and grouped into pages . Events could be superimposed within a single page, played at different speeds, etc. and one could navigate through a work at varying paces, returning to previous pages, skipping forward, backward, etc. In each work, a slightly different approach was taken, but this general logic of modularity remained.
