Explanation in Natural Language of -Terms.

The -calculus, introduced by Curien and Herbelin, is a calculus isomorphic to (a variant of) the classical sequent calculus LK of Gentzen. As a proof format it has very remarkable properties that we plan to study in future works. In this paper we embed it with a rendering semantics that provides explanations in pseudo-natural language of its proof terms, in the spirit of the work of Yann Coscoy [3] for the λ-calculus. The rendering semantics unveils the richness of the calculus that allows to preserve several proof structures that are identified when encoded in the λ-calculus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
