      semi-diameter of the base of a shaft, taken as a unit of
      measure by which the proportions of the other parts of the
      composition are regulated. generally, for columns, the
      semi-diameter is taken, and divided into a certain number
      of parts, called minutes see minute, though often the
      diameter is taken, and any dimension is said to be so many
      modules and minutes in height, breadth, or projection.

module
     
        1.  an independent piece of software which
        forms part of one or more larger programs.  different
        languages have different concepts of a module but there are
        several common ideas.
     
        modules are usually compiled seperately in compiled
        languages and provide an abstraction or information hiding
        mechanism so that a module's implementation can be changed
        without requiring any change to other modules.  in this
        respect they are similar to objects in an object-oriented
        language, though a module may contain many procedures
        and/or functions which would correspond to many objects.
     
        a module often has its own name space for identifiers so
        the same identifier may be used to mean different things in
        different modules.

        2.  an independent assembly of electronic components
        with some distinct function, e.g. a ram module consisting of
        several ram chips mounted on a small circuit board.
