A modern elaboration of the ramified theory of types (Q2563450)

The paper first formalizes the ramified type theory as (informally) described in the Principia Mathematica. This formalization is close to the ideas of the Principia, but also meets contemporary requirement on formality and accuracy, and therefore is a new supply to the known literature on the Principia. As an alternative, notions from the ramified type theory are expressed in a lambda calculus style. This situates the type system of Russell and Whitehead in a modern setting. Both formalizations are inspired by current developments in research on type theory and typed lambda calculus.
