In the maintenance of life systems, defragmenting is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation that may have occurred during spiritual, emotional, and/or intellectual development. It does this by organizing contents of storage bodies used to store life files in the smallest number of fragments and/or fragmented memories. The process of defragmenting also frees up inner spaces and helps impede the return or recreation of new and/or old fragments. Defragmenting is advantageous and relevant to life systems.
