A reusable concept for similar inputs with divergent outcomes

Can a repeatedly useful reasoning pattern become a compact concept while retaining the conditions that make it true?

Formülasyon

One proposed pattern marks inputs that look similar under the current comparison but diverge after a particular operation. Repetition and context affect whether that difference deserves a persistent annotation.

Gerilim

Surface similarity is not a guarantee of similar consequences, but divergence is not meaningful without a specified transformation.
