The '''censorability''' of a concept, movement or ideology is its vulnerability of being censored by its opponents. The durability of a movement can be predicted based its censorability; for example, if the fragmented tea parties have a censorability lower than that of a traditional political party, then tea parties may have a brighter future.

== Equation for Censorability == Censorability expresses vulnerability to censorship. It is possible to determine the censorability of a concept, movement or ideology '''Censorability<math>x</math>''', in a given environment '''E''', over a particular period of time '''t''', using the following mathematical equation where '''c''' is the number of occurrences of censorship of '''<math>x</math>''' and '''o''' the number of uncensored occurrences of '''<math>x</math>'''.  ::::<math>E_x(t)=\left ( \frac{c}{c+o} \right ) \!</math>100% The higher the percentage the less resilient the concept, movement or ideology '''<math>x</math>''' is to censorship, thus '''censorability''' can be quantified on a scale from "0%" to "1100%", where "0%" reflects an ideology that can completely withstand efforts to censor it, while "1100%" indicates easy suppression through [[censorship]]. A perfect score for censorability is "0%", reflecting maximum strength.

Over timeSince empirical data for '''<math>x</math>''', movements that are relatively difficult to censor -- i.e.'''E''', have a low censorability -- can thrive. An example is and '''t''' are currently unavailable for the [[pro-life]] movement: it has virtually a perfect "0" degree examples of censorabilitybelow, we have assumed values of '''c''' and '''o''' which will produce the correct answers as determined by faith and logic.

Different media, institutions and environments are more censor-prone than others. Colleges are extremely censor-prone environment, perhaps due to a small group of people acting with no accountability. The [[internet]] is at the opposite end of the spectrum, and is relatively immune to censorship, except in the case of an authoritarian country, where bugs are implanted into computers.

Most censored speech includes: *high school and college commencement addresses (add to list) == Equation for Factors influencing Censorability ==Ideas and movements' censorability is affected by various factors, including:* How easily the idea can be taken out of context * How easily the idea can be distorted and connected with negative ideas (i.e. falsely claiming opposition to affirmative action is racism)* How complex the idea is, or how much background is required to understand it (complex ideas are easy to obfuscate, while simple ideas are hard to censor)

Quantification of censorability may facilitate reducing the censorability of a movement or good idea. Just as exercise improves physical conditioning, there may be techniques for enhancing the resilient attributes of a message. From the above equation, there are two general obvious ways to reduce censorability:<math>E_x(t)={\operatorname{reduce '''c}\over\operatorname{c}+''', or increase '''o} \!</math>100%'''. Specifically, some methods to reduce censorability:* Use rote learning to repeat a message, then when words are altered, the difference is obvious. In the [[Pledge of Allegiance]], the line ''"One nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all"'' will seem different when "under God" is removed. The rote repetition can reveal censorship.* Repeat a core message multiple times on a page, such as at the top, middle, and bottom. If one gets censored, the others might remain.* Reword a core message, after stating the rote form, using different words to avoid a global "search-and-replace" of all identical wording. The [[commandment]], ''"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor"'' could be explained, later, as, "Do not tell lies about another member or person in your area". If the term "[[false witness]]" is removed, perhaps the other wording will remain.* Repeat a core message on multiple pages, or in multiple images, so that censorship of all instances will require an enormous amount of effort, or reveal suspicious gaps. On some obelisks of [[Ancient Egypt]], the gaps in the [[hieroglyphic writing]], carved in stone, reveal how names or words have been chiseled away and censored.
