Descripción
The Curry-Howard correspondence connects Natural Deduction derivation with the lambda-calculus. Predicates are types, derivations are terms. This supports reasoning from assumptions to conclusions, but we may want to reason `backwards' from the desired conclusion towards the assumptions. At intermediate stages we may have an `incomplete derivation', with `holes'. This is natural in informal practice; the challenge is to formalise it. To this end we use a one-and-a-halfth order technique based on nominal terms, with two levels of variable. Predicates are types, derivations are terms | and the two levels of variable are respectively the assumptions and the `holes' of an incomplete derivation.
