Composability is a system design principle that deals with the inter-relationships of components. A highly composable system provides components that can be selected and assembled in various combinations to satisfy specific user requirements. In information systems, the essential features that make a component composable are that it be: self-contained (modular): it can be deployed independently – note that it may cooperate with other components, but dependent components are replaceable; stateless:[citation needed] it treats each request as an independent transaction, unrelated to any previous request. Stateless is just one technique; managed state and transactional systems can also be composable, but with greater difficulty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composability see composition

Stian Haklev is starting the Argument Diagramming course from OLI. Going to be thinking about how this could be done in a Roam-native fashion... It's fun to see the detailed argument map (mine or theirs) juxtaposed with the text, which uses so many literary devices... Whether you agree or not, you have a lot of specific statements that you could contest, link to evidence for/against, etc... Seems that they combine text entry (similar to Argdown format) with a visual map (and the two are interlinked, click in outline to zoom to box), but also encourage students using this to map out an essay - they also provide essay templates etc. (more)
