From my intuition, no idea if proper, a set of programs differentiated by their exact computational cost, which must each over some set of inputs compute the exactly same values as all other programs from this set, should be the models of the algorithms, which for us represent understanding at some level of a concept.

This means that a simple model of a boat is something that gets you from A to B and floats on water. A nautical engineer has a different idea of it however, maybe he sees it as a composition of different faring components, and in much more detail most likely.

So then, you must necessarily understand at least one of the nested subsets of the starting infinitely complex superset to be able to produce exact output to some testing function verifying whether you understand the concept at all. Otherwise you are going to have an error rate, maybe calling a fish a boat or something
