proportionalities
Mathematical ratio correspondences
Proportionalities is the plural of proportionality—the quality of being proportional or in proper relation.
The word appears most often in technical contexts: mathematics, law, and policy.
In legal discourse, proportionality concerns whether a response or punishment fits the offense: The court weighed the proportionalities of the proposed sentences.
In scientific writing, it describes mathematical relationships between quantities.
