disembed

To disembed is to remove something from its embedded position—extracting what has been fixed within a surrounding context or structure.

In computing, disembedding extracts data or media from a containing file or webpage.

In social theory, disembedding describes how modern systems lift social relations out of local contexts: Globalization disembeds economic transactions from face-to-face relationships.

The word implies separation from a matrix that once held something in place.
