Economists even today ponder whether the numeric value of a stock's price is "efficient"- in other words, it accurately captures the underlying fundamentals in such a way that makes the price unique to only a company, having those growth and value fundamentals.
Although not disproven, the answer is likely NO: There are many different companies having different financial conditions of either atrophy or growth which could land upon the same price.
However, when redirecting this question toward the stateful capture of a networks configurations, the answer could more closely be YES!
Allow me to explain: if every NODE or STAKE which visits a network is instead replaced by the TOKEN it processes, and these tokens are then represented by unique numbers, such as PRIME NUMBERS, then - along with a time stamp - the concatenation of their ON or OFF presence in a truth table or BITFIELD having all possible configurations- would ALWAYS generate a unique number which represented the correct configuration of the network (across SPACE & TIME)
