下降，递降

A particular extension of the idea of gluing. See Descent (mathematics).

Examples :

"The architect understood that the building's overall structure could be understood by carefully studying the "descents" of its individual, interconnected components, seeing how each part "glues" or relates to the others in the larger design. "

建筑师明白，通过仔细研究建筑各个相互关联的组成部分的“递降关系”，即它们在更大设计中如何“粘合”或关联，就能理解建筑的整体结构。
