A derivative is basically how a small addition to the input value changes the output value; this change in output value is also studied in terms of being something “additional” (though it could also be a subtraction). In L-calculus this approach is altered: how does multiplying the input value by a tiny value greater than one change the amount by which the output value gets multiplied?
