The TL indecomposable modules mimic the staggered Virasoro modules that occur in the continuum limit. We can thus study the lattice models as regularizations of LCFTs built out of such staggered modules. Most of the continuum features can be recovered in finite size (subquotient structure, fusion rules,...) and we ll see that this is also true for indecomposability parameters.
