"Separation" est un mot aux sens multiples. Peux-tu préciser le contexte ?

J'ai trouvé ceci sur la toile:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

For the game, see Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. For the movie, see Six Degrees of Separation (film).

Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. The theory was first proposed in 1929 by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in a short story called "Chains". [revision: 2005/Sep/11: It's actually six intermediaries. That's why it's called 6 degrees.... I in fact once developed a mathematical proof for this (logarithmically), but lost my paper notes.

Six degrees
