The language of Stratified Sets is confluent and strongly normalising

Abstract

We study the properties of the language of Stratified Sets (first-order logic with \in and a stratification condition) as used in TST, TZT, and (with stratifiability instead of stratification) in Quine's NF. We find that the syntax forms a nominal algebra for substitution and that stratification and stratifiability imply confluence and strong normalisation under rewrites corresponding naturally to β\beta-conversion.
