The theory behind the Terms language

Hi,

I would like to present to you a programming language I have developed. Reading through your getting started page, I can see that the focus in this forum is category and type theory, etc. I am not an expert, but I understand what these are about.

What I propose, however, is not in that sort of direction; it is academically quite unrelated. Its end result, though, is an implemented, working programming language [1], that I believe can be useful for certain problems, and that's the reason I address you here with it.

What I would like you to read and comment is a brief explanation of the theoretical foundation of this programming system [2]. I would really appreciate any comment.

I am not sure if my approach is original, and I am also not sure whether my conviction that this approach is useful is just a delusion.

This is not the first time I try to show this work in this forum. The first time there was some discussion, but it didn't get to the point I am trying to make. I have tried to be more to the point this time.

Thanks in advance
