[2019-Aug] Variables

Xam was working on some functions that took a state and returned some result. He wondered how he could alter the states while not altering the result of these functions. The first idea that came to his mind was to define the set of variables that the function would depend on. He called it the support of function P:

support P = {x. ∃ s1 s2. ( ∀ y. y ≠ x --> s1 y = s2 y) ∧ P s1 ≠ P s2}

He was really happy, when he could show, that altering a variable not in the support of some function doesnt alter the function.

x ∉ support Q ==> Q (l(x:=n)) = Q l

But that was not quite what he wanted. He rather was looking for something else: He wanted to prove that for two states that agree on the support of a function, the function's result for the two states would be equal.
As the lunch break interupted him, he had no more time to think about it. While having coffee he thus posted the question to his fellows, who could not immediately come up with a solution. Could you?

Prove or disprove:

∀ P. (∀s1 s2. ( ∀ i∈support P. s1 i = s2 i) ==> P s1 = P s2)

~ ( ∀ P. ( ∀ s1 s2. ( ∀ i∈support P. s1 i = s2 i) ==> P s1 = P s2))"
