I like the equivalence classes. They're a good model for thinking about these things, like @fzakaria's questions and observations. Having followed the formal definitions I did not spot any flaws beyond the superficial comments and the vague notion of "simpler". |

Progress on NixOS#13405, which asks for an explicit characterisation of the equivalence relation like the one given here. Also progress on NixOS#11895, because we're using the term "build trace entry" instead of "realisation". Mention NixOS#9259, a future work item. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <[email protected]>
