Your "approach" will work "out of the box" in physics:

a = 5 elephants

a = b
 b must equal 5 elephants. However, if we add in something, say:

| b must equal 5 kg. However, if we add in something, say:

a = 5 elephants
b = 5 cats

| a = 5 kg
| b = 5 m

a = b?

Nope.

Well, 5 = 5, but what they define is different...

a and b denote different ""things"".

Is that what you are getting at?

Who knows. :-P

In math, we might refer to the quartions.
a = 5 i
b = 5 j
Then a =/= b.
