Abstract

We abstract the common type-and-scope safe structure fromcomputations on lambda-terms that deliver, e.g., renaming, substitution, evaluation, CPS-transformation, and printing witha name supply. By exposing this structure, we can prove generic simulation and fusion lemmas relating operations built this way. This work has been fully formalised in Agda.
