(The inclusion is strict because of the ˜equipollence™ constraint.). From Wordnik.com. [Analytic Philosophy in Early Modern India] Reference
In this scenario cardinals are implemented as equivalence classes under equipollence and are (big) sets. From Wordnik.com. [Quine's New Foundations] Reference
From here the step is not far to Dedekind's view that equipollence is a sufficient condition for equinumerosity. From Wordnik.com. [Slices of Matisse] Reference
Leibniz, later, articulated a more general “equipollence of hypotheses”: in any system of interacting bodies, any hypothesis that any particular body is at rest is equivalent to any other. From Wordnik.com. [Space and Time: Inertial Frames] Reference
After Abelard, equipollence and other relations between modal sentences were commonly presented with the help of the square of opposition, which Abelard mentions though it does not appear as such in his works. From Wordnik.com. [The Statue of a Writer] Reference
For Bolzano, equipollence and “having exactly the same kind of construction” (die ganz gleiche Entstehungsart haben) are taken together as a sufficient condition for infinite sets being equinumerous or having the same cardinal number. From Wordnik.com. [Slices of Matisse] Reference
What is new is Abelard's contention that modal discussions should proceed by distinguishing the different possible readings of modal sentences, moving on to consider their quantity, quality, and conversion as well as their equipollence and any other relations holding between them on these different readings.
