disjointedness
State of disconnection
Disjointedness is the quality of lacking coherence or logical connection between parts.
Writing or speech with disjointedness jumps from topic to topic without clear transitions, leaving readers or listeners struggling to follow.
The disjointedness of his argument made it hard to take seriously.
The term applies equally to abstract things like narratives and conversations, and to physical arrangements that seem haphazard or disconnected.
