  We present subarcsecond 1.3 mm continuum ALMA observations towards the Orion
Molecular Cloud 1 South (OMC-1S) region, down to a spatial resolution of 74 AU,
which reveal a total of 31 continuum sources. We also present subarcsecond 7 mm
continuum VLA observations of the same region, which allow to further study
fragmentation down to a spatial resolution of 40 AU. By applying a Mean Surface
Density of Companions method we find a characteristic spatial scale at ~560 AU,
and we use this spatial scale to define the boundary of 19 `cores' in OMC-1S as
groupings of millimeter sources. We find an additional characteristic spatial
scale at ~2900 AU, which is the typical scale of the filaments in OMC-1S,
suggesting a two-level fragmentation process. We measured the fragmentation
level within each core and find a higher fragmentation towards the southern
filament. In addition, the cores of the southern filament are also the densest
(within 1100 AU) cores in OMC-1S. This is fully consistent with previous
studies of fragmentation at spatial scales one order of magnitude larger, and
suggests that fragmentation down to 40 AU seems to be governed by thermal Jeans
processes in OMC-1S.
