Abstract:
The paper introduces a higher-order, type-theoretical formal language LST GP of information content that is partial, parametric, underspecified, dependent on situations, and recursive. The terms of the formal language represent situation-theoretic objects. The language has specialized terms for constrained computations by mutual recursion. It introduces terms representing nets of parameters that are simultaneously constrained to satisfy restrictions.
