Russian term

неотождествленность (явления)

Russian to English Science Science (general) Aerospace phenomena handbook
Использование параметра отождествленности позволяет значительно сократить время обработки и анализа сообщений, а также минимизирует влияние человеческого фактора и субъективности исследователя. Также такой подход дает возможность направленно структурировать массивы сообщений за пороговым уровнем отождествленности.
Другую существенную проблему ставит тот факт, что отождествленность или неотождествленность явления не указывает, насколько оно информативное и важное для наполнения базы знаний и формирования научной картины явления.
В некоторых местах возможно перефразировать эти два термина без необходимости их субстантивировать, но меня интересует научное, книжное слово или словосочетание применительно к тому, о чем пишет автор. Я решил из развести следующим образом: successful or failed identification. Была еще мысль воспользоваться префиксом non для отрицания, но как и в случае с un ссылки идут на сайты европейские, где тексты могут составляться кем угодно. В ряде книг американских ученых, исследовавших проблему НЛО, к примеру, мне не раз встречалось понятие misidentification, однако оно все-таки отличается от неотождествленности. К какому варианту склонились бы вы для такой пары?

The Misha, I appreciate your opinion, but postmodernist blabber is ouf the question. This text has to do with investigating aerospace atmospheric phenomena in relation to UFO sightings, and the role of human error in understanding anomalous experiences. The stuff I am working on addresses specific audiences and does not invite any Tom, Dick, and Harry to develop an immediate grasp of things they have never been familiar with. Just because you have no clue, I don't think you could vouch for all American or British native speakers unless one of them is an authority on issues of their concern. Besides, how come everybody is supposed to be on the same wavelength, if we all have completely different backgrounds? There's no denying that we think differently, but that does not mean we should take liberty with the author's concepts.
The Misha Dec 18, 2015:
This actually reminded me of Derrida's famous argument: Vous m'avez mal compris. In case you don't speak French, it means "you have misunderstood me".
The Misha Dec 18, 2015:
This is a moot point. Any name would do... ... for the simple reason that it doesn't mean anything. Or rather, it is anyone's guess what it means. I have read the entire paragraph you gave and came to the conclusion I have not a clue what this is about. I mean, what is it about, really - computer science? Epistemology? String theory? Time and again, I come across proof that Russian and English speakers even think about the same things differently, and when it comes to academic "research," such texts may be (and generally are) foreign in more senses than one (unless they involve "hard" science rather than European-style postmodernist blabber). I will bet you a dollar, or a Russian ruble if you prefer, that no English speaker (or at least no American anyway) will be on the same wavelength to understand or care, so pick any related pair of terms you like differentiated by "non" - say, sameness/non-sameness, relatedness/non relatedness, equalness/non-equalness, or work it around and use a verb of your choice (determine, distinguish, discern, associate, you name it) - and be done with it. It really doesn't matter, since it apparently doesn't really mean anything.
