Abstract:
Can relations between concepts in one system be sufficient on their own for locating matching concepts in another system? This question in concept semantics has been contentious. Now, contrary to one important theory, the answer appears to be yes.

The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...
