surveyable
Able to examine
Surveyable describes something that can be taken in at a glance or comprehended as a whole.
A surveyable landscape is one you can see across; a surveyable argument is one whose structure you can grasp without getting lost.
The word often appears in philosophy and mathematics, where it matters whether a proof or system can be fully inspected: The proof should be surveyable—each step checkable by a human reader.
