fastställbar

Fastställbar is a Swedish adjective that translates to "determinable" or "ascertainable" in English. It describes something that can be definitively established, identified, or verified. The term is often used in legal, scientific, and mathematical contexts where precision and certainty are crucial.

In legal proceedings, a fact is considered fastställbar if it can be proven through evidence. This might involve witness testimonies, documents, or expert opinions. If a fact is not fastställbar, it cannot be used as a basis for a legal decision. Similarly, in scientific research, data or results are fastställbar if they can be replicated and verified by other researchers. This principle of verifiability is fundamental to the scientific method.

In mathematics, a quantity or value is fastställbar if it can be uniquely determined through a set of given conditions or equations. For instance, a solution to a well-defined mathematical problem is typically fastställbar. The opposite of fastställbar would be something that is uncertain, ambiguous, or cannot be definitively known. The concept of fastställbar emphasizes the importance of evidence, logic, and clear criteria in reaching a conclusion.
