The initial state of the program/physical computer may not overlap with the target space at all. The target space wouldn’t be larger or smaller (in the sense of subsets); it would just be an entirely different set of states.
Flint’s notion of optimization, as I understand it, requires that we can view the target space as a subset of the initial space.
