Abstract
⺠Two proposed mathematical definitions of observational equivalence were examined. ⺠The first is Werndl's manifest isomorphism relation. ⺠The second is Ornstein and Weiss's epsilon congruence relation. ⺠Counterexamples demonstrate that neither definition is acceptable as stated. ⺠Prospects for a context-free definition of observational equivalence are dim.
