restatability
Restatability is a term used in information design, linguistics, and philosophy to describe the property of information that allows it to be restated or re-expressed without loss of meaning. It concerns how easily a proposition, instruction, or claim can be reformulated in different words, formats, or representations while preserving its truth conditions or intended effect. Restatability is distinct from related concepts such as reproducibility, repeatability, or verification, which focus on empirical replication or performance.
In linguistic and philosophical contexts, restatability often centers on paraphrase invariance—the extent to which alternative expressions
In practical applications, restatability informs the design of user interfaces, technical documentation, and artificial intelligence explanations.
Limitations include the fact that not all information can be faithfully restated in every language or context,
