gridless

Lacking any framework

Gridless describes something without a grid—the network of lines, infrastructure, or organizational structure that typically underlies a system.

Most often refers to living or operating without connection to electrical power grids: gridless cabins in the wilderness, gridless solar setups.

In design and gaming contexts, it describes layouts or movement systems that don't rely on square or hexagonal grids: a gridless combat system.
