#adequacy

• Adequacy — The act of adapting or matching and its result; a structural process or state of exact correspondence, full suitability, and harmony between two distinct elements. In epistemology and the theory of knowledge, the concept (derived from the Latin maxim 'adaequatio intellectus et rei') expresses the criterion of truth through the perfect conformity between the mental representation of an object and its objective reality.
• Adequacy — Conformity, exact correspondence, or a relationship of perfect alignment between two distinct structural elements. In philosophy and epistemology, it defines the correspondence of the intellect with reality (adaequatio rei et intellectus), representing the classic criterion of truth, while in logic and linguistics it describes the rigorous match between a statement, concept, or theorized model and the state of affairs it reflects.
