Two systems are isomorphic when they admit the same morphisms—when the set of valid transformations applicable to one equals those applicable to the other.

If Hom(X, DNS) ≅ Hom(X, Filesystem) for all relevant X, then DNS ≅ Filesystem.

Wherein we prove it is

I had a sickie yesterday with nothing better to do than attempt to prove isomorphism across domains
