- Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this very much like deciding whether
- two different programs compute the same thing without running them?
- If so then it is theoretically impossible to do it *in the general
- case* (look to G÷del for the proof). In other words you could do it
- for some but not all programs and you wouldn't know which until you
- ran it and saw the result (or lack thereof).
-
- This analogy sounds plausible to me but I'm not an expert on
- computational theroy and it has been years since I, very briefly,
- looked into it so if someone can prove me wrong - do it.
