%% Translation between higher-order and debruijn lambda terms %% %% A similar result is shown for Twelf at %% http://twelf.plparty.org/wiki/Concrete_representation %% They seem to need many contorsions which are unrelated to the %% actual task of the translation. They also define both a forward %% and backward translation, whereas we use a single translation and %% prove it deterministic in both directions. Their key difficulty %% is that they cannot use hypothetical assumptions like our (depth X N) %% since regular worlds are not powerful enough to specify the %% form of contexts which are created (e.g. they cannot show the %% natural number N must be unique).
