       A way to extract only certain :term:`nnx.Variable<Variable>` objects out of a Flax NNX :term:`Module<Module>` (``nnx.Module``). This is usually done by calling :meth:`nnx.split <flax.nnx.split>` upon the :class:`nnx.Module<flax.nnx.Module>`.

     Folding in
-      In Flax, `folding in <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/jax.random.fold_in.html>`__ means generating a new JAX `pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/random-numbers.html>`__ key, given an input PRNG key and integer. This is typically used when you want to generate a new key but still be able to use the original PRNG key afterwards. You can also do this in JAX with `jax.random.split <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/jax.random.split.html>`__, but this method will effectively create two PRNG keys, which is slower. Learn how Flax generates new PRNG keys automatically in the `Randomness/PRNG guide <https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/randomness.html>`__.

     PRNG states

       You can use a PRNG state with different seeds to add more fine-grained control to your model (for example, to have independent random numbers for parameters and dropout masks).

     Split and merge
-      :meth:`nnx.split <flax.nnx.split>` is a way to represent an :class:`nnx.Module <flax.nnx.Module>` by two parts: 1) a static Flax NNX :term:`GraphDef <GraphDef>` that captures its Pythonic static information; and 2) one or more :term:`Variable state(s)<Variable state>` that capture its `JAX arrays <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/jax.Array.html>`__ (``jax.Array``) in the form of `JAX pytrees <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/working-with-pytrees.html>`__. They can be merged back to the original ``nnx.Module`` using :meth:`nnx.merge <flax.nnx.merge>`.

     Transformation
       A Flax NNX transformation (transform) is a wrapped version of a `JAX transformation <https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/transforms.html>`__ that allows the function that is being transformed to take the Flax NNX :term:`Module<Module>` (``nnx.Module``) as input or output. For example, a "lifted" version of `jax.jit <https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/jax.jit.html#jax.jit>`__ is :meth:`nnx.jit <flax.nnx.jit>`. Check out the `Flax NNX transforms guide <https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/transforms.html>`__ to learn more.
 
     Variable

     Variable state
