Question

In a paper co-authored by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, these things are encoded as identity functions in a system partially named “Aleph.” The Amber rules compare a class of these non-list things, which can be constructed or destructed via the “unfold” and “fold” keywords. (-5[1])An analog of Russell’s paradox which states that consistent (15[1])systems cannot exhibit a “universal” one of these things (15[1])is named for Jean-Yves Girard. In addition to bindings over terms, bindings over these things are present in (*) System F. These things correspond to logical propositions by the Curry-Howard isomorphism. A version of the lambda calculus that implements a “simple” (0[1])one denotes these things by the letter tau. Multiple instances of these things act as inputs to polymorphic functions. For 10 points, name these categories of data values that include “int” or “bool.” ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: types [or data types; accept isorecursive types; accept simply-typed lambda calculus]
