Abstract
The notion of equality is essential in any formal theory since it allows us to classify the objects it deals with.
Classifying is one of the most important processes in knowledge, representation and inference since it permits us to relate, construct, generalize, find general laws, etc. It is inconceivable that a scientific knowledge should be without an equality that allows us to classify the objects it studies.
