interconnections
Bonds between parts
Interconnections are the links or relationships between things that connect them to each other.
The word emphasizes mutual connection rather than one-way linkage: The interconnections between climate, agriculture, and migration are complex.
In technical contexts, interconnections may be physical junctions between systems or networks: fiber optic interconnections between data centers.
