interposition
IN BRIEF: n. - The act of placing one thing between or among others; The act of saying or doing something that makes a break.
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions.
— Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
