An embelian is a unitian in which individual members already existed before the unit as separate members, and only unify under certain circumstances, often willingly[1]. Because of this, they may be together often, or hardly at all, depending on if it’s currently needed.
Members in embelians may not be part of the same subsystem/layer/etc., and may or may not have any relation to each other outside of their embelian. The adjective is "embelic” and can be used to describe systems as well. (ex: an embelic subsystem.)
