I defined it as "not designable" or "unable to be designed." I'll maintain it as that unless someone shows why things like "not graspable," "not bright," and "not on" are likewise invalid descriptions.

The best I can do is my beaver example (dams are designable by beavers; Ferraris are not). Somewhere in this example lies one such possible way, albeit exclusive to beavers. I'm also fairly comfortable with "not designable" being just a placeholder, something we understand logically, but have not yet filled in practically. Science sprinkles many such place holders across its theories. I don't think "not designable" is that abstract, but if the forum doesn't accept any of my current descriptions, then it will have to live as a place holder until shown to be logically invalid.
