Could you define explainability in this context?

The ability of humans, by inspection, to determine why a program is constructed in the way that it is vis-a-vis the goal/output.

hmm -- could you speak to the meaning of explanation here?

It seems youre talking about the ability of a researcher to diagnose the structure of the model?
