Irreducibility, in philosophy, has the sense that a complete account of an entity will not be possible at lower levels of explanation and which has novel properties beyond prediction and explanation. Another way to state this is that Occam's razor requires the elimination of only those entities that are unnecessary, not as many entities as could conceivably be eliminated.
Adjective that show what with respect to a real to which is reported totally stays to it extraneous and independent. Irreducible with respect to the matter are in fact the idemal experiences.
An irreducible polynomial has no factors other than 1 (called non-trivial factors). Thus +1 is prime but 2-1=(+1) is not prime. A polynomial which is not irreducible is called composite. A number which has no factors other than 1 is called prime.
An entry attribute telling the compiler that multiple calls to this entry with the same parameters cannot be reduced to a single call. That is, the entry does not necessarily return identical values for calls with the same set of parameters or has side effects. IRREDUCIBLE is the opposite of REDUCIBLE.
