non-atomicadj.

Brit.

/ˌnɒnəˈtɒmɪk/, U.S.

/ˌnɑnəˈtɑmɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: non- prefix, atomic adj.

Etymology: < non- prefix + atomic adj.

1. Not involving atoms; not composed of atoms, structurally continuous. Also: not involving atomic energy.

1943 Mind 52 26 It is supposed that..all complex or non-atomic assertions are just aggregates of atomic propositions linked by ‘and’, ‘on’, or ‘if—then’.

3. Mathematics and Computing. Not simple but compound; composed conceptually of smaller units; (spec. in measure theory) designating a metric space, or a measure defined on such a space, in which every measurable set having non-zero measure contains a measurable subset having a smaller non-zero measure.
