rearrangements
Altered spatial orderings
Rearrangements are acts of putting things in a different order or configuration.
The word applies to physical objects rearrangements of furniture, musical compositions orchestral rearrangements, or abstract elements rearrangements of priorities.
In chemistry, a rearrangement is a reaction where atoms shift positions within a molecule to form a different structure.
