1927 Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 29 142 The modularity of d_uG follows immediately from that of d_xG, G, dH and dK.

1951 Ann. Math. 54 191 The assumption of modularity for ϕ cannot be replaced by additivity or even complete additivity.

1994 Jrnl. Symbolic Logic 59 1289 Since local modularity is a nonorthogonality invariant, we assume further that A′ = A and p′ = p.

2. The fact of being composed of modules; the use of modules in design or construction.

1937 Archit. Forum Apr. 252/2 The unit used in this kind of modular design may be defined as the ‘multiple module’. Modularity of this kind has much greater potentialities as an integrating factor for building as a whole.

1964 F. P. Fisher & G. F. Swindle Computer Programming Syst. iv. 219 A growing trend in the design and implementation of input/output control systems is the concept of modularity.

1968 Brit. Med. Bull. 24 192/1 In 1965–66 the manufacturers introduced the so-called ‘third generation computers’, whose principal feature was their modularity.

1975 Sci. Amer. Jan. 50/2 (advt.) Pop-in modularity makes it easy to replace logic boards when needed, without tools.

1992 Times Educ. Suppl. 31 Jan. 18/1 There is no difficulty with modularity: many A-levels have subdivided syllabuses. Modules confer flexibility.

3. Psychology. The theory that the brain is organized into relatively independent functional units which work in parallel.

1981 D. N. Osherson in Cognition 10 241 The modularity question may be stated in gross form as follow: How many human faculties are there?
