unexplainability
Resisting all clarification
Unexplainability is the quality of being impossible or extremely difficult to explain.
The term appears most often in technical contexts, particularly in discussions of artificial intelligence and machine learning, where complex algorithms may produce results that humans cannot readily interpret or account for.
The unexplainability of the model's decisions raised concerns about using it in healthcare.
In broader use, it can describe any phenomenon that resists rational explanation.
