diffusions
Slow outward spreadings
Diffusions is the plural of diffusion, which refers to the process of spreading or scattering widely.
In physics and chemistry, diffusion describes how particles move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration: the diffusion of gases through a membrane.
More broadly, it applies to the spread of ideas, innovations, or cultural practices: the diffusions of agricultural techniques across ancient civilizations.
In art and photography, diffusion softens light or blurs edges.
