Oct 24, 2021 at 5:22 comment added Emily @BenjaminSteinberg Thanks! I was sure I had mentioned this (I made exactly this mistake a year ago when asking a similar question!). I updated the above to include this, and also tried to hopefully make the descriptions of $\sim_1$, $\sim_2$, and $\sim_3$ clearer.

Oct 23, 2021 at 20:06 comment added Benjamin Steinberg I think $\sim_2$ should be generated by pairs a,b with ma=bm for some m. This is what people usually use
Oct 23, 2021 at 13:10 comment added Benjamin Steinberg For finite sets this is well known. I believe for infinite sets it will likely boil down to understanding the case of the monoid $T_X$ of all self maps of X. The answer should be some "combinatorial" property that doesn't rely on the ambient $X$. My understanding is that description of the $\sim_3$ classes was an open question a few years ago for X uncountable. I'm not sure if the countable case is known João Araújo and Mike Kinyon and their coauthors have a lot of papers on these things
