noncongruence
Failure to align
Noncongruence is the state of not matching or being incompatible.
In geometry, shapes that differ in size or form have noncongruence.
More broadly, the term describes any lack of alignment between things that should correspond: the noncongruence between his words and actions, noncongruence between policy goals and actual outcomes.
