... If A is a redex in M and it is to the left of all other redexes in M then A is called the leftmost redex of M. The Second Church-Rosser Theorem If X red Y and Y is in normal form then there is a reduction sequence from X to Y that involves successively reducing the leftmost redex. This is known as N ...

... When we say a given term has a given type (for example, λx.x2 has type Z → Z), we are saying that the value of the term after evaluation at runtime, if it exists, will be a member of the class of similar values represented by the type. In the pure untyped λ-calculus, there are no types, and all term ...
