Fun to read. This seems to have much in common with type theoretical approaches to program correctness. The ultimate type system is one where a program has a type iff it implements a desired algorithm (expressed as a type). So in your terminology type theory defines "essentially the same" as "having the same type," or, more properly, provably equivalent types since these systems generally can't have minima.
