Collapses(complexity theory): When separate levels of a hierarchy become indistinguishable or merge into one, suggesting they're actually the same difficulty level.
Democratic legitimacy(as used in political philosophy): The idea that a government or decision-making system is fair, represents people's actual wishes, and has the right to make decisions that people should follow.
fairness independent of outcomes(as used in discussions of procedural justice): A process is considered fair based on following the right rules, regardless of whether the results help or hurt any particular person or group.
identifiable groups(as used in discussions of discrimination and justice): Specific communities of people who can be clearly recognized—like a racial group, economic class, or other category that shares something in common.
