Encyclopedia
Viable or viability is the ability of a thing (a living organism, an artificial system, an idea, etc.) to maintain itself or recover its potentialities.

Viable or viability may also refer to:
  • Viability (fetal), the ability of a fetus to survive outside of the uterus without artificial support
  • Viability selection, the selection of individual organisms who can survive until they are able to reproduce
  • Viability of cells
    Cell (biology)
    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life. The Alberts text discusses how the "cellular building blocks" move to shape developing embryos....

    Viable prefix
    The set of prefixes of right sentential forms that can appear on the stack of a shift-reduce parser are called viable prefixes.
