'''Defactoring''' is a synonym for saturation, so it applies to either mappings or comma bases. Its antonym is enfactoring. So, a mapping or comma basis is either defactored (saturated) or enfactored (unsaturated, having torsion/contorsion).  
'''Defactoring''' is the term used in the writings of [[Dave Keenan]] and [[Douglas Blumeyer]], a list of which can be found [[Douglas_Blumeyer#Some_of_his_work_here_on_the_wiki|here]], as a proposed replacement for saturation, torsion, and contorsion. Like saturation, it applies to either mappings or comma bases. Its antonym is enfactoring. So, a mapping or comma basis is either defactored (saturated) or enfactored (unsaturated, having torsion/contorsion). See also [[Defactoring terminology proposal]].
 
Defactored and enfactored were coined by [[Dave Keenan]] in collaboration with [[Douglas Blumeyer]] in 2021 as replacement terms for saturation, torsion, and contorsion; for more information, see [[Defactoring terminology proposal]].
