MATH.7:6 - Bias-Annotation

Bijections give a particularly strong form of transfer: full recovery on the declared sets. Many useful summaries and approximate models intentionally retain less information. They can still answer a specific question through a different correspondence method. The elementary examples also make the maps cheap to calculate; a complicated inverse may remove the computational benefit of a representation while leaving its mathematical validity intact.
