equivalence
Significado: The condition of being equal or interchangeable in value, function, meaning, or effect, even if not identical in form.
Equivalence is central to mathematics, law, diplomacy, and philosophy. In mathematics, an equivalence relation partitions a set into classes of elements that are, in some defined sense, the same. In law, equivalence is invoked when determining whether qualifications from different jurisdictions should be treated as comparable. In translation studies, the degree of equivalence between source and target texts is a perennial debate. The word carries more precision than 'equality,' implying functional interchangeability rather than absolute identity.
