In this paper, we first propose the concept of strong idempotent codec based on idempotent codec. The idempotence of codec refers to the stability of codec to re-compression. Similarly, we define the strong idempotence of codec as the…

It has been argued that reduction procedures are closely connected to the question about identity of proofs and that accepting certain reductions would lead to a trivialization of identity of proofs in the sense that every derivation of the…
