No, not identical, just the same size.
This is part of the confusing thing with infinite numbers.
The problem is (if I am remembering right) that the number of
decision problems isn't a countably infinte number, but an
uncountable infinite, which IS larger than the number of finite
strings that could be given to a UTM, since that is, BY DEFINITION,
countable.
Yes that is the mistake of conventional wisdom.
An infinite set of unique TMD's has each element of the unique set of
finite strings appended. A UTM processes each element of these TMD+INPUT
pairs.
Which is still just a countable infinite number of inputs, with an uncountable infinte number of functions to compute.
Since you seem to have problems understanding the countable infinite,
I don't expect you to understand the uncountable infinite.
Reals are construed as uncountably infinite because there has previously
been no way to uniquely identify a pair of immediately adjacent points
on a number line. The assumption has always been that there is always a
point between two points thus no two points are immediately adjacent.
First note, I didn't say mapping to the Real, I said an uncountable
infinite set, so the same size as the reals, but is a different set.
To show they are countable, you need to show a bijection of EVERY real
to the counting numbers. (or every function over N to the counting Numbers)
Using interval notation we can see that the line segment specified by
[0,1] is exactly one geometric point longer then the line segment
specified by [0,1). Thus the point at the right end of [0,1] is
immediately adjacent to point at the right end of [0,1) with no points
in-between.
Except that there is no such thing.
What IS that point immediately adjacent to the number 1?

Why? You comment just shows an failure to understand how infinite
numbers work.
In fact, if you TRY to make that sort of logic work, you get
inconsistencies.
This comes form things like the set of all even numers is BOTH a subset
of all the Natural Numbers (removing all the odd numbers) or just a relabeling of the set of Natural Numbers (replacing each one with twice itself).
These are EXACTLY the same set, so the set of all even numbers must be
bigger than itself with your logic.
