noncontextual
Standing alone, unchanged
Noncontextual describes something understood or applied without reference to surrounding circumstances.
A noncontextual interpretation ignores the situation in which words were spoken.
In philosophy and physics, noncontextual refers to properties or measurements that don't depend on how they're observed: The theorem assumes noncontextual hidden variables.
The word often appears in technical discussions of meaning, measurement, or analysis.
