Literary notes about segmentation (AI summary)
The term "segmentation" is employed in literature predominantly to describe processes of division and organization, most notably in developmental and biological contexts. It is used to denote the orderly partitioning of an ovum into distinct cells that later form structures such as a blastosphere [1, 2] and segmentation cavities which are critical in subsequent tissue differentiation [3, 4]. The word also captures variations in this process, from regular, symmetric divisions [5] to cases of unequal or partial segmentation that can influence the formation of structures like somites or cranial elements [6, 7, 8]. Beyond strictly developmental biology, "segmentation" finds its place in broader metaphorical or technical discussions that extend into cultural and even computational realms [9, 10, 11].
- The later stages of segmentation have not been followed in detail, but the result of segmentation is a blastosphere.
