I think they're referring to the least fixpoint operator μ, whose interface you can find in section 15.2.1 of PFPL.[0] The idea and consequences superficially seem to be very similar.

- throwaway17_17 5y agoThat is the correct reference. I don’t know if I’d say the similarities are only superficial however. The blog post on super-inductive types seems to bear out at least a strong isomorphism modulo syntax.
- creata 5y agoAgreed: I meant that there were superficial similarities, not merely superficial similarities. Here's the original paper (I think?) on self types; maybe there's an obvious link in there. https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~astump/papers/fu-stump-rta-tlca-14.pdf https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~astump/papers/fu-stump-rta...
