multipolar
Having multiple centers
Multipolar describes a system with multiple centers of power or influence.
In geopolitics, a multipolar world has several dominant nations rather than one superpower (unipolar) or two rivals (bipolar): The post–Cold War era is shifting toward a multipolar order.
In anatomy and neuroscience, multipolar neurons have multiple branching projections extending from the cell body.
