Abstract: Computer software development has produced many advances within computer science and in most aspects of modern society. Even with modern quality control, bug finding, and other code checking applications, computer software is often less than ideal. A developer may write code that is functionally accurate but lacks security, documentation, speed, storage, reusability, or other element that may make a segment of software code less than ideal. Identifying equivalent code, within a defined hypothesis strength and/or resource limitation, and, when found, replacing it with a vetted equivalent promotes the deployment of software that is more robust, secure, usable and reusable, and/or satisfies performance or other objectives.

Abstract: Analyzing software, in particular, a voluminous quantity of source code is significant burden for many computing platforms. Bugs must be found, features added, removed, and modified, all without inducing new errors. By providing a Dependency Ordered Behavior (DOB), a language-agnostic model of software may be machine-derived and associated with natural human terminology for a particular domain. As a result, software may be reviewed and/or automatically edited with confidence in knowing what portions of the code will and will not be impacted.
