*'''Isomorphic:''' {{w|Isomorphism}} describes whether all the attributes of one structure can be mapped to properties of another structure. The structures usually have to be of the same type; it is unclear how a hypergroup would map to a "conjection". | *'''Isomorphic:''' {{w|Isomorphism}} describes whether all the attributes of one structure can be mapped to properties of another structure.
