fuzziness
Lack of clarity
Fuzziness is the quality of being fuzzy—soft and indistinct, like something out of focus or covered in fine fibers.
A photograph has fuzziness when it's blurry.
Ideas have fuzziness when their boundaries are unclear: There's a certain fuzziness to the concept that makes it hard to pin down.
The term appears in technical contexts like fuzzy logic, where fuzziness describes degrees of truth rather than absolute values.
