Topic: Terminology - Group name for pure or applied λ-calculus
Eric Taucher (Dec 29 2021 at 10:37):
In writing some code to reduce λ-calculus terms learned that for pure λ-calculus
the result will be an abstraction, I.e. λt.x
and for applied λ-calculus
the result can also be a variable, E.g. x
. So my code has this argument that accepts either pure
or applied
and I am looking for a meaningful name for the argument and don't want to use type
or kind
and was wondering if there already exist a name to discriminate these.
