Modular Content
Overview
Modular content consists of discrete, self-contained units designed for reuse and recontextualization across different systems or formats.
These modules may shift in meaning depending on where and how they’re used, allowing the system to adapt without rewriting.
Each module is structured enough to stand alone, but flexible enough to integrate. Modularity enables development by adapting existing pieces without requiring duplication or complete rewrites.
It clarifies structure through separation of concerns. Typed modular content reinforces this by assigning consistent roles, supporting thematic linking, scoped authorship, and recursive system-building.
This supports recursive systems by allowing content to reference, extend, or reorganize previous modules over time.
