This exercise explores the differences between
agent functions and agent programs.
1. Can there be more than one agent program that implements a given agent function? Give an example, or show why one is not possible.
2. Are there agent functions that cannot be implemented by any agent program?
3. Given a fixed machine architecture, does each agent program implement exactly one agent function?
4. Given an architecture with $n$ bits of storage, how many different possible agent programs are there?
5. Suppose we keep the agent program fixed but speed up the machine by a factor of two. Does that change the agent function?
