Distance in Denotational Semantics?



Is there a notion of distance in denotational semeantics? I have made
cursory readings on the subject in the past, and all the talk of
lattices and CPOs made me wonder if it was possible to define a
semantic distance between two arbitary programs ... with the intention
of using a distance d to define a region of similarity for a given
program P (you know, P is considered similar to Q if |P Q| < d). Its a
very vague question I know, but your feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

PS If theres a better place to post general question about den. sem.
then please tell me.
