Karl,
Since the habitus and the dispositions of which it is formed are
conceptualized as structures you might find it useful to have a look at some
of the language used by graph theorists to describe structures:- strong, weak,
connected, disconnected, partially connected, etc. (see e.g. Harary, Norman
and Cartwright, An Introduction to the Theory of Directed Graphs)
