A-equivalence, or "A-constructive equivalence," is a concept in the field of type theory, specifically in programming language semantics and type systems. It serves as a criterion for determining when two terms or expressions in a programming language are considered equivalent within a certain context. In more theological terms, A-equivalence usually focuses on the syntactical form or construction of expressions, as opposed to their operational behavior or values.
