A gauge symmetry is analogous to how we can describe something //within// one language through different words (synonyms). A description of the same thing in different languages is called a [[advanced_notions:duality|Duality]]. | A gauge symmetry is analogous to how we can describe something //within// one language through different words (synonyms).
