Definition
一致性 is an abstract noun meaning 'consistency' or 'uniformity' — the quality of being in agreement or adhering to the same standard. It is commonly used for data consistency, logical consistency, uniformity of rules, or alignment of opinions. Note that the dictionary gloss 'continuity' is a mistranslation; the correct sense is consistency, not temporal continuity (that would be 连续性). Similarly, 'communality' is rarely used for this word in modern Chinese.
