We develop a unified categorical theory of substructural abstract syntax with variable binding and single-variable (capture-avoiding) substitution. This is done for the gamut of context structural rules given by exchange (linear theory)…

Verifying LLM-generated systems code is hard: bugs are prevalent, formal specifications are missing, and safety contracts are encoded implicitly at call sites rather than enforced at function boundaries. We propose agentic model checking, a…

interpretation is a general methodology for building static analyses of programs. It was introduced by P. and R. Cousot in \cite{cc}. We present, in this paper, an application of a generic abstract interpretation to domain of…

Even in our increasingly text-intensive times, the primary site of language use is situated, co-present interaction. It is primary ontogenetically and phylogenetically, and it is arguably also still primary in negotiating everyday social…
