Equivalentteja

Equivalentteja is a formal construct used in abstract mathematics and theoretical computer science to describe a class of transformations that preserve chosen invariants and thereby define equivalence classes of objects. In this framework, a set O of objects is equipped with a family of transformations T and an invariant function I. Two objects a and b in O are said to be equivalentteja, denoted a ~_e b, if there exists a finite sequence a = x0, x1, ..., xn = b and, for each i, a transformation t_i in T such that xi+1 = t_i(xi) and I(xi) = I(xi+1). The relation ~_e is intended to be an equivalence relation (reflexive, symmetric, transitive) and partitions O into equivalenceteja classes [a]. Each class admits a canonical representative rep(a) chosen by a predefined rule, enabling a canonical form for computations and comparisons.

Examples include graph isomorphism under a fixed symmetry group, where invariants may be the degree sequence or cycle structure; and term rewriting systems in which two expressions reduce to the same normal form. In practice, equivalentteja serves as a tool for deduplication, data integration, and optimization, by reducing diverse representations to a standard form. The concept is used primarily in theoretical discussions and as a naming device in toy models of canonicalization.

The term is coined for this article as a fictional concept; related ideas include equivalence relations, isomorphism, canonical forms, and quotient constructions.
