Morphology

introspectiveness = introspective (transparent) = intro + spect + ive + ness

The noun is a regular quality/state formation from the adjective 'introspective', and the AI-specific sense is a straightforward extension of that idea.

Etymology

Introspectiveness comes from the parts intro- ('inward') and -spect- ('to look'). Think of a program 'looking inside' its own work to find errors or explain its behavior, which is why in computing it means a system can examine its own processes and results.
