knowableness
Capacity for comprehension
The quality of being capable of being known or understood.
Knowableness implies that something lies within the bounds of human comprehension or discovery: The knowableness of the universe is a central assumption of science.
Philosophers debate the knowableness of things like God, free will, or objective reality—whether such concepts can ever be truly grasped.
