nonintegral
Between the integers
Nonintegral describes something that is not essential or not part of a whole.
A nonintegral component can be removed without compromising the system.
In mathematics, nonintegral refers to numbers that are not whole integers: 3.7 is a nonintegral value.
The word appears most often in technical contexts where distinguishing core from peripheral elements matters.
