stratification
wikipedia: In sociology, social stratification is the hierarchical arrangement of social classes, castes and strata within a society. While these hierarchies are not universal to all societies, they are the norm among state-level cultures (as distinguished from hunter-gatherers or other social arrangements).
merriam-webster: : to form, deposit, or arrange in strata: a bed or layer artificially made2 a: a sheetlike mass of sedimentary rock or earth of one kind lying between beds of other kinds b: a region of the sea or atmosphere that is analogous to a stratum of the earth c: a layer of tissue <deep stratum of the skin> d: a layer in which archaeological material (as artifacts, skeletons, and dwelling remains) is found on excavation
The first thing that came to mind was the body worlds show where human bodies were plastinated then dissected or basically flayed for the rest of the world to view. this reminded me of the old encylcopedia’s that we owned which had diagrams of the human anatomy printed on acetate in layers so that you could see the layers of the human body.
