Abstract
In this chapter we investigate two equivalence relations between subshifts of finite type. The first is finite equivalence and the second is almost-topological conjugacy. These equivalence relations are weaker than topological conjugacy which we discussed in Chapter 2. They are meant to capture the “typical” behavior of points in a subshift of finite type.
