I think of modularity/composability of beliefs like lego. It is important for pieces to be able to be different so they serve different tasks, yet also important for them to maintain certain properties so that they remain connectable to other lego. Pieces that conform along more dimensions will be more composable and thus more usable in many different ways (more generic pieces) while pieces that conform along fewer dimensions can accomplish more specialized tasks but also create limits on how well they interface with other pieces (super specialized pieces that ‘are only good for their specific purpose’ in specialty sets.)

Can you provide concrete examples of the specialized pieces?
Detailed maps of technical or personal subjects. Like knowing particular idiosyncracies of your job or relationships.
