interrátoregyértelmség

Interrátoregyértelmség is a proposed concept in semiotics and communication theory referring to the quality by which meanings are interpreted consistently across different agents and contexts. It denotes the presence of invariant interpretive procedures or conventions that allow diverse interpreters to converge on the same interpretation of a communicative act. The term is a Hungarian neologism formed from inter- (between) and egyértelműség (unambiguity), intended to capture cross-agent clarity in meaning-making. It is not yet widely recognized in established journals and is mainly discussed in speculative or theoretical debates about intersubjective understanding.

Core characteristics include shared interpretive conventions or meta-rules, explicit encoding of context, and verifiability of interpretation across agents. Interrátoregyértelmség implies robustness to linguistic variation and noise, so that different translators, speakers, or machines arrive at equivalent readings of a message.

Potential applications appear in multilingual AI systems, cross-cultural legal or contractual communication, and collaborative work where multiple stakeholders must align on intended meaning.

Critics argue that the concept rests on idealized assumptions about common ground and universal interpretive strategies, risking oversimplification of legitimately divergent viewpoints. Proponents view it as a target for designing more transparent, accountable communication systems that can be audited for interpretive consistency.
