|
in terms of structure (A longer but very direct paraphrase.)

due to underlying system features
Because of how a system is built or set up.
Padron ng paggamit:

|
fundamentally (More general; does not specifically point to system design.)
Mga kasalungat
temporarily (Caused by short-term conditions rather than built-in features.)
|
cyclically (Driven by business or seasonal cycles rather than long-term structure.)
