This paper is an attempt to develop a unifying algebraic framework for extensional theories capturing formally the informal concept of extensionality, as well as a generic automate...
For twenty years the Nuprl ("new pearl") system has been used to develop software systems and formal theories of computational mathematics. It has also been used to expl...
