imaginability
Capacity for envisioning
Imaginability is the quality of being able to be imagined or conceived.
The term appears in philosophical and cognitive contexts when discussing whether something can be mentally pictured or entertained as a possibility: The imaginability of time travel doesn't prove its possibility.
What we can imagine often differs from what can actually exist.
