representability

Ability to depict

Representability is the quality of being able to be represented, depicted, or expressed in some form.

In mathematics and logic, it refers specifically to whether a function or relation can be captured within a formal system.

In broader contexts, representability concerns whether something abstract—an idea, a group's interests, or a concept—can be adequately conveyed or stood for by something else.

The representability of infinite sets within finite notation remains a fundamental problem.
