Boundedness

/ˈbaʊndɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being bounded; the condition of having limits or being confined within boundaries.

Etymology

From bounded plus the noun suffix -ness, creating an abstract noun describing the state of being limited or confined.

Kelly Says

Boundedness is paradoxically both a limitation and a safety feature—mathematicians prove that bounded systems are safer to work with than unbounded ones.
