Technical Context
Used mainly in technical fields like computing and mathematics.

The expert affirmed that the algorithm's result is computable.
Limitations Exist
Not everything in computers or math is computable; some problems have no algorithmic solution.

Despite extensive research, a computable answer for that problem remains undiscovered.
Not Just Numbers
'Computable' can refer to any problem that can be solved systematically, not just numerical ones.

so this is my most recent bloodwork as you can see I have high cholesterol I have particularly high bad cholesterol and I have some bad liver numbers but those are because we had a dinner party with a lot of good wine the night before we ran the test all right but look at how non computable this information is

Computing a theory of...
So I decided to just try to see how much of the systematic knowledge that's out there in the world we could make computable. So, it's been a big, very complex project, which I was not sure was going to work at all. But I'm happy to say it's actually going really well.

so our next steps are to bring as many eyeballs as possible to eol to work with richer more computable data you helped get us off the ground and now we're gaining momentum the next five years will be even more exciting thank you
