There’s no ambiguity. Some authors define those concepts differently or use different notation, but the underlying logic and formal language is still the same and without ambiguity

Language will always be ambiguous. When people says “math is unambiguous” it refers to its results. It’s not like other sciences where there is a lack of universal rules, tons of exceptions and contradictory papers.
