👉 A beaminess in a structure or system refers to the amount of variation in its properties. This can include things like how it behaves under stress, how it responds to changes in temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions, as well as how it performs at different scales (e.g., length, width, height) within the system. For example, a beam might be considered more "beaminess" than a flat sheet of paper because it can exhibit greater variation in its properties across its surface.
