Effective Homeomorphism

An effective homeomorphism is a precise way of saying that two shapes or spaces are fundamentally the same because one can be smoothly stretched, twisted, or bent into the other without tearing or gluing. The term "effective" emphasizes that this transformation can be described or computed explicitly, often with a clear procedure or algorithm. In essence, if you can find such a transformation that is both continuous and reversible, and you can explicitly construct or explain it, the shapes are considered effectively homeomorphic. This concept ensures both the topological equivalence and the constructive, algorithmic aspect of the transformation.
