Linearity is the quality or state of being linear, especially the characteristic of having a straight-line relationship between variables, or of behaving in a predictable, straightforward manner. In math, science, and engineering, it denotes proportional, additive responses without curvature or complexity. The term is used across disciplines to describe systems that respond in a consistent, direct way. (2–4 sentences, ~60–70 words)
