indistinguishability
Total lack of difference
Indistinguishability is the quality of being impossible to tell apart.
Two things have indistinguishability when no test or observation can differentiate them: The indistinguishability of the twins frustrated their teachers.
In physics and philosophy, the concept carries technical weight—quantum particles have fundamental indistinguishability, meaning swapping two electrons changes nothing measurable about a system.
