“Isomorphic” is a word that describes a mapping (or a transformation) that preserves some properties that we believe to be important.
The word you’re looking for is probably “similar” not “isomorphic”. It sure as hell doesn’t sound as fancy though.
- tptacek 1y ago... yes, that is why I chose the word? Literally: preservation of structural similarity. Not simply "similarity", which could mean anything.
- frutiger 1y agoWhat’s the morphism here?
- foobar10000 1y agoIt used to be the library one wrote to solve them at once - the solution being isomorphic that is, not the problems. I.e. given problems a b c d, f(a) solves a, g(b) solves b, … j(d) solves d - turns out if you can write a common function F instead of f g h j separately, then clearly F is isomorphic to f g h j under our constraints. I guess in this case the morphism is the similar or same prompt to generate f g h j.
