unconsolidated
Scattered and separate
Unconsolidated means not combined, unified, or made solid.
In geology, unconsolidated sediments are loose materials like sand or gravel that haven't been compressed into rock: unconsolidated soil.
In finance, unconsolidated statements report a single entity's finances without merging subsidiary accounts.
The word generally describes things that remain separate or loosely bound rather than fused into a whole.
