Fragmentation
A structural phase where the drought table breaks into clusters and micro-leaders, creating a fast-moving, unstable landscape.
Glossary term
Fragmentation shows the table breaking into separated structural neighborhoods.
Why It Matters
Fragmentation signals low coherence at the top of the table and rapid leadership reshuffling.
How Stepzero Uses It
Phase diagnostics identify fragmentation periods to prevent overconfident interpretations during unstable windows.
Example
Several near-equal leaders rotating quickly can indicate fragmentation rather than a stable regime.
