Definitions for "Isomorphism"
A similarity of crystalline form between substances of similar composition, as between the sulphates of barium (BaSO4) and strontium (SrSO4). It is sometimes extended to include similarity of form between substances of unlike composition, which is more properly called homœomorphism.
A one-to-one mapping of one set onto another set which preserves the relations between the elements of the domains of the sets.
a state (or a quality) of being identical or similar in form, shape, or structure; example: crystalline forms of similar composition.
In Gestalt psychology, isomorphism refers to a correspondence between a stimulus array and the brain state created by that stimulus. For example, in the phi phenomenon in which a pair of alternating and spatially separated patches of light create the illusion of motion, it is argued that the brain state created by this stimulus matches the brain state created by a patch of light moving between the two locations.
The creation of possibilities of individuals learning from other systems. Isomorphism is demonstrated in NLP therapeutic situations when individuals are encouraged to connect the stories they tell about events in their lives to their behaviour.
A type of iconicity which refers to one form having only one meaning, and one meaning only one form; for example, in Old English there were two stems for the word "book" bÇk (singular stem) and b‘k (plural stem), which were consolidated into the current word, so that now there is only one form for that one meaning.
a one-to-one relationship between two distinctly different sets of objects
