equivalences
States of sameness
Equivalences are relationships of equal value, meaning, or function between things.
In logic and mathematics, an equivalence is a precise relationship where two expressions or statements are interchangeable: The equivalences between these formulas can be proven.
More loosely, equivalences are rough correspondences: She drew equivalences between the two political movements that others found unconvincing.
