Partitioning is a very import aspect of software development; you need to partition the application into several parts; modules, classes, units, whatsoever. Dividing the work among people is also partitioning. Choosing the right partitioning is about trade-offs.
It stroke me during my vacation that a landmass like Europe is also partitioned; it is divided into countries. It took a couple of thousand of years and a lot of fights, but finally we have a stable partitioning of land. In a way it is a self organizing system.
