disjointly
In disconnected parts
Disjointly means in a disconnected or separate manner, without overlap or connection between parts.
The word appears in mathematical contexts where sets are disjoint if they share no common elements, but extends to general use: The committee members worked disjointly, never coordinating their efforts.
It suggests fragmentation rather than coherence.
