You can, but Turing already did such in 1937 and showed equivalence of expressiveness. :p
>The types themselves are not (programmatic) objects at all—they're merely the "objects" of the category.
Do you mean 'programmatic' in the computational sense or categorical sense?
Because, I was referring to the fact that every program (morphism) also has an equivalent function type (internal hom). Function types are objects within the Category as well. :)

It seems that this paper is using a set-theoretic comprehension for the concepts. Although, you could consider 'more powerful' constructions like Universes.
I know a lot has been put into the study of LCs and I have nothing against studying them. I just have a personal preference to use other 'methods' to study computational theory. :p
- tel 12y agoI think we're just talking around one another. I don't understand how your criticisms are anything besides style, I suppose. If you dislike LC and distrust the mechanics of CT then of course a paper which uses CT to unify LC with math and physics won't float your boat—but it's still perfectly cromulent.
