Webeweb -
The traditional layered model of the World Wide Web treats pages, sites, and networks as discrete units. This paper introduces the concept of webeweb (Web of Embedded Web Ecosystems) to describe recursive embedding of web-based systems within one another—e.g., iframes, embedded social media feeds, API-driven micro-frontends, and nested WebViews. We argue that modern web architecture increasingly resembles a fractal structure, where each “web” contains other fully functional webs. Using case studies (e.g., embedded e‑commerce checkout widgets, federated wikis, and portable Web Components), we propose analytical dimensions for measuring recursion depth, autonomy, and cross-boundary state management. Finally, we discuss security and UX implications of webeweb architectures.

Since 2020, the average webpage contains over 25 embedded third-party contexts (iframes, widgets, SDKs). This creates a “web within a web” phenomenon that existing models (e.g., OSI-inspired web layers) fail to capture. We term this webeweb . webeweb
I notice that appears to be a non-standard or made-up term. It could be a typo, a placeholder, a code, or a neologism (e.g., “web” repeated with “ewe” inserted). The traditional layered model of the World Wide
