sectoring
Partitioning into zones
Sectoring is dividing something into sectors—distinct sections or zones.
The term appears in technical contexts: disk sectoring organizes storage media into addressable units; network sectoring partitions wireless coverage areas.
In biology, sectoring describes when colonies develop visibly distinct regions due to genetic mutations: The yeast plate showed clear sectoring after incubation.
