English term or phrase: changeable
Beables and changeables

This might sound like sleight of hand to introduce quantum uncertainty, but 't Hooft has outlined a way to turn it into a predictive mathematical theory. He thinks that there may be two classes of properties that we can measure.

One type he calls beables - from 'be-ables'. These remain as precisely defined on laboratory scales of time and distance as they are on the Planck Scale. **The other type, that he dubs changeables, are not really observable properties at all; rather, they tell us how a system behaves if you make a small change somewhere. Changeables look like the observables in standard quantum mechanics, but they get scrambled and blurred when we try to measure them. **
