Merosystem

(n.) A group of members, subsystems, and/or sidesystems that may be connected to each other or disconnected to other parts of the system in some way. A synonym for hemisystem.

"Meros" from Greek, meaning "part".

Many systems learning about the term "hemisystem" automatically assume a system can only have two hemisystems or an even number of them due to its suffix. This is an error on our part, as at the time of coining it, we only had two hemisystems and thus chose "hemi" to mean "half". Merosystem has been coined as a bit of a "fix it" synonym, giving systems the option to use hemisystem or shake off the prefix and use merosystem!

Do not use if you're anti-endogenic systems or a community exclusionist.
