Arabic term or phrase: معادلة
I can't figure out what the author means by the word معادلة here. Any ideas?

يتناول البعض مفهوم السلطة الخامسة للتعبير عن سلطة الشارع والشعب قبال السلطات الأربع وهي التنفيذية والتشريعية والقضائية والصحفية، يعبرون عنه بقدرة الشارع على تكوين قناعته وقيادة نفسه بنفسه عبر مؤسسات المجتمع المدني أو عبر مؤسساته الرمزية التي تؤثر فيه تبعا لاختلاف ثقافاته وكيف بامكانه أن يفرض نفسه ويفرض ***معادلته*** في قبال السلطات
الاخرى *** ومعادلاتها*** الأمثلة حية على قدرة هذه السلطة على التأثير في مجريات الأمور

Thanks to everyone. Although I'm still not 100% sure what the author meant by the word here (probably not much), I thought enshrine's suggestion worked best in the English translation.
