Read a random definition: FMSF

A quick definition of competence:

Competence: Being competent means having the ability to do something. It means you have the mental and physical skills to complete a task. For example, if someone is competent to stand trial, it means they are able to understand what is happening in court and can help their lawyer. Competence is important in many areas, like holding public office or practicing law. To be competent, you need to be aware of yourself, your surroundings, and the people around you. Competence can also refer to evidence that is trustworthy and can be used in court (competent evidence).

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Competence refers to the ability or capacity to perform a task or activity. It involves having the necessary mental and physical skills to carry out a given task.

For example, a person may be deemed competent to stand trial if they have the mental capacity to understand the charges against them and assist in their own defense. Similarly, a person may be considered competent to hold public office if they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to perform the duties of the position.

Competence can also refer to the authenticity or admissibility of evidence in a legal proceeding. Evidence that is considered competent is reliable and relevant to the case at hand.

Overall, competence is a foundational requirement for any task or activity, and it involves having a basic awareness of one's identity, surroundings, and the identity of others.
