commutability

Ability to interchange

Commutability is the quality of being exchangeable or interchangeable.

In mathematics, commutability describes operations where the order of elements doesn't affect the result—addition is commutative because 3 + 5 equals 5 + 3.

In medicine, commutability refers to whether a reference material behaves like actual patient samples across different testing methods: The laboratory assessed the commutability of the calibration standard.
