Nominal logical frameworks Is there a sensible way of combining nominal logic ideas with established logical frameworks such as LF or the Calculus of Constructions, that reconciles constructive and propositions- (judgments)-as-types, proofs-as-programs techniques with abstract syntax? Is there a principled way of combining the advantages of higher-order abstract syntax (namely, built-in capture-avoiding substitution) with nominal syntax? Is there a principled way to integrate (and generalize) LF's higher-order judgment methodology (wherein the LF context is used to store local parameters and local hypotheses of the object language) with nominal or other more foundational techniques?
