\begin{abstract}
This paper presents a minimal core calculus extending the \(\lambda\)-calculus by a polymorphic type-system similar to SystemF, but in addition it introduces a new type-constructor called the \emph{ladder-type}.
Using ladder-types, multi-layered embeddings of higher-level data-types into lower-level data-types can be described by a type-level structure.
By facilitating automatic transformations between semantically compatible datatypes, ladder-typing opens up a new paradigm of abstraction.
We formally define the syntax \& semantics of this calculus and prove its \emph{type soundness}.
Further we show how the Boehm-Berarducci encoding can be used to implement algebraic datatypes on the basis of the introduced core calculus.

\section{Core Calculus}
\subsection{Syntax}

The calculus is made up of a \emph{type-level} language, and an \emph{expression-level} language. The formal grammar for both is given in \ref{gr:core}.
In addition to \emph{function types} \(\tau_1 \rightarrow \tau_2\), \emph{universal types} \(\forall\alpha.\tau\) and type specialization \(<\tau_1 \tau_2>\),
which are already known from SystemF,
types can be of the form \(\tau_1 \sim \tau_2\) to denote a \emph{ladder type} to formalizes the notion of a type \(\tau_1\) being represented in terms of type \(\tau_2\).
Similar to SystemF, expressions can be \emph{variables}, \emph{type-abstractions}, \emph{}

Let \(\Sigma = \{ \text{Digit}, \text{Char}, \text{Seq}, \text{UTF-8}, \mathbb{N}, PosInt \} \cup \{ 0, 1, 2, ... \}\).
The following terms are valid types over \(\Sigma\):

\begin{enumerate}
\item \typeterminal{<Seq Char>} \( \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\)\\
"sequence of characters"
\item \typeterminal{<Seq <Digit 10> \(\sim\) Char>} \( \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\)\\
"sequence of decimal digits, where each digit is represented as character"
\item \typeterminal{<Seq Item> \(\rightarrow \mathbb{N} \rightarrow\) Item} \( \in \typenonterm{\{Item\}}\)\\
"function that maps a sequence of items and a natural number to an item"\\
Note: this type contains the free variable \typeterminal{Item}
\item \typeterminal{<Seq Char> \(\sim\) UTF-8 \(\rightarrow \mathbb{N} \rightarrow\) Char } \( \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\)\\
"function that takes a sequence of chars, represented as UTF-8 string, and a natural number to return a character"
\item \typeterminal{\(\forall\) Radix . <Seq <Digit Radix> \(\sim\) Char>} \(\in \typenonterm{\emptyset} \)\\
"given the parameter \typeterminal{Radix}, a sequence of digits where each digit is represented as character"\\
Note: this type-term is \emph{ground} (i.e. \(\typevars = \emptyset\)), since \typeterminal{Radix} is bound by \(\typeterminal{\forall}\)
\item \typeterminal{
	\(\forall\) SrcRadix.\\
	\(\forall\) DstRadix.\\

the thereby induced, lexically scoped substitution \(\overline{\psi_t}\) replaces all \emph{free} occurences of the variables \(\metavariable{\alpha_i}\) in a type-term \(\metavariable{\xi} \in \typenonterm{\{\metavariable{\alpha_1}, \quad \metavariable{\alpha_2}, \quad \dots\}}\) recursively with the type-term given by \(\psi_t(\metavariable{\alpha_i})\).
Lexical scoping is implemented by simply not substituting any bound occourences of variables \(\metavariable{\alpha_i}\). This allows to skip \(\alpha\)-conversion as done in classical \(\lambda\)-calculus.

\subsubsection{Inference of Expression Types}

The type-context \(\Gamma = \{ \metavariable{x_1} : \metavariable{\tau_1} , \quad \metavariable{x_2} : \metavariable{\tau_2} , \quad \ldots \}\) is a finite mapping from variables \(\metavariable{x_i} \in \exprvars\) to ground types \(\metavariable{\tau_i} \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\).
Using the inference rules given in \ref{def:typerules}, further typing-judgements
of the form
\begin{itemize}
\item \(\metavariable{e} : \metavariable{\tau} \quad\) read as "expression \(\metavariable{e}\) is of type \(\metavariable{\tau}\)" and
\item \(\metavariable{e} :\approx \metavariable{\tau} \quad\) read as "expression \(\metavariable{e}\) is compatible with type \(\metavariable{\tau}\)"
\end{itemize}
can be derived from the context \(\Gamma\) where \(\metavariable{e} \in \exprnonterm{\emptyset}{\exprvars}\) and \(\metavariable{\tau} \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\)

\begin{definition}[Syntactic Well-Typedness]
An expression \(\metavariable{e} \in \exprnonterm{\emptyset}{\emptyset}\) is \textbf{syntactically well-typed} if there exists a type \(\metavariable{\tau} \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\),
such that \( \emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e} : \metavariable{\tau} \) by \ref{def:typerules}.
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[Semantic Well-Typedness]
An expression \(\metavariable{e} \in \exprnonterm{\emptyset}{\emptyset}\) is \textbf{semantically well-typed} if there exists a type \(\metavariable{\tau} \in \typenonterm{\emptyset}\),
such that \( \emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e} :\approx \metavariable{\tau} \) by \ref{def:typerules}.

Assume the expression \(\metavariable{e}\) is \textbf{syntactically well-typed}, i.e. \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e} : \metavariable{\tau}\) for some type \(\metavariable{\tau}\). Then forall \(\metavariable{e'}\) with \(\metavariable{e} \rightarrow_{\beta} \metavariable{e'}\) it holds that \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e'} : \metavariable{\tau}\) as well.

\label{lemma:preservation}
Assume the expression \(\metavariable{e}\) is well typed, i.e. \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e} : \metavariable{\tau}\) for some type \(\metavariable{\tau}\). Then forall \(\metavariable{e'}\) with \(\metavariable{e} \rightarrow_{eval} \metavariable{e'}\) it holds that \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e'} : \metavariable{\tau}\) as well.

\begin{lemma}[Progress]
\label{lemma:progress}
If \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e} : \metavariable{\tau}\), then either \(\metavariable{e}\) is a value or there exists some \(\metavariable{e'}\) such that \(\metavariable{e} \rightarrow_{eval} \metavariable{e'}\)

\begin{theorem}[Soundness]
If \(\emptyset \vdash \metavariable{e}:\approx\metavariable{\tau}\), then it never occurs that \(\metavariable{e} \rightarrow_{eval}^{*} \metavariable{e'}\) where \metavariable{e'} is in normal form but not a value.

\begin{proof}
By \ref{lemma:}
Follows from \ref{lemma:progress} and \ref{lemma:preservation}.
