Abstract

There have been numerous extensions to classical higher-order logic, but not all of them interact non-trivially. Two such extensions, stateless HOL and HOL extended with quantified types, generate an interesting conflict in the way that type operator variables are implemented and handled. This paper details a proposed solution to that conflict and explores the key impacts to the logical kernel. A prototype system, implemented in GHC Haskell, is discussed and compared to related systems.
