separability
Capacity for division
Separability is the quality of being able to be divided or considered apart from something else.
In mathematics and logic, it describes whether elements or variables can be treated independently: The separability of the equation made it easier to solve.
In philosophy and law, separability often concerns whether one part of a contract or argument can stand even if another part fails.
