boundedness
State of confinement
Boundedness is the quality of having limits or constraints.
In mathematics and logic, it describes sets or functions contained within finite limits: The boundedness of the sequence guarantees convergence.
More abstractly, boundedness can characterize anything with defined edges or restrictions—a bounded problem has clear parameters, a bounded space has walls.
