Discreteness

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Discreteness 

discontinuity; the opposite of continuity. For example, a discrete change in a quantity with respect to time is the change taking place over particular intervals (in jumps); the system of whole numbers (as opposed to the system of real numbers) is discrete. In physics and chemistry discreteness signifies the granular structure of matter, its atomic nature.
