this paper is clearly stated, after recalling how the logical connectives can be explained in term of the Sheffer connective: "We are led to the idea, which at first glance certainly appears extremely bold of attempting to eliminate by suitable reduction the remaining fundamental notions, those of proposition, propositional function, and variable, from those contexts in which we are dealing with completely arbitrary, logical general propositions . . . To examine this possibility more closely and to pursue it would be valuable not only from the methodological point of view that enjoins us to strive for the greatest possible conceptual uniformity but also from a certain philosophic, or if you wish, aesthetic point of view."

In [1] we have shown a strong argument in support of the "Universe as a computer " idea. In the current work, we continue our exposition by showing more arguments that reveal why our Universe is not only "some kind of computer", but also a concrete computational model known as a "cellular automaton".

This paper deals with the problem of a program that is essentially the same over any of several types but which, in the older imperative languages must be rewritten for each separate type. For example, a sort routine may be written with essentially the same code except for the types for integers, booleans, and strings. It is clearly desirable to have a method of writing a piece of code that can accept the specific type as an argument. Milner developed his ideas in terms of type assignment to lambda-terms. It is based on a result due originally to Curry (Curry 1969) and Hindley (Hindley 1969) known as the principal type-scheme theorem, which says that (assuming that the typing assumptions are sufficiently wellbehaved) every term has a principal type-scheme, which is a type-scheme such that every other type-scheme which can be proved for the given term is obtained by a substitution of types for type variables. This use of type schemes allows a kind of generality over all types, which is known as polymorphism.

This paper presents a new Lambda-Boolean reduction machine for Lambda-Boolean and Lambda-Beta Boolean reductions in the context of Lambda Calculus and introduces the role of Church–Rosser properties and functional computation model in symbolic and algebraic computation with induction. The algorithm which improved for Lambda-Beta Boolean reduction is simulated by the efficient logical programming language Prolog.
