Isomorphism

Isomorphism is a concept from mathematics that describes a way two structures are fundamentally the same, even if they look different on the surface. Imagine two different puzzles with different pieces and shapes; if there's a way to match each piece in one puzzle to exactly one piece in the other, preserving how they connect, the puzzles are "isomorphic." This means their underlying structure or relationships are identical, just represented differently. Essentially, isomorphism shows that two different systems can have the same fundamental organization or pattern, revealing their deep similarity despite outward differences.
