We could perhaps use "similarity"? "Equals" is somehow triple equality and
"same" is somehow double equality. Similarity is used for correlation with 
higher order statistics. We could say that we use a correlation function (or
functions) to measure the similarity, and that the function(s) run over a
number of properties (or all). With a little thought we could make something
that is fairly efficient, that is basically running over a limited set of
properties and testing if they are the same. If many enough of them are the
same the two entities will be "similar". It is also possible to extend such
similarity measures in several ways, for example by using Levenshtein distance
between strings used as properties instead of a double equality.

Its not so difficult as it seems.
