In Hinduism
Samkhya (school of philosophy)
Samanvaya (समन्वय, “similar form”).—The existence of avyakta can be proved by samanvaya also. Similar form of different objects is called samanvaya. That means, the common quality of all objects, for which the essential homogeneity of the objects is indicated, is called samanvaya.

Samkhya (सांख्य, Sāṃkhya) is a dualistic school of Hindu philosophy (astika) and is closeley related to the Yoga school. Samkhya philosophy accepts three pramanas (‘proofs’) only as valid means of gaining knowledge. Another important concept is their theory of evolution, revolving around prakriti (matter) and purusha (consciousness).
