λδ takes some features from the calculi of the Automath family and
ζ-contraction and θ-swap. On the other hand,
η-contraction is not included.<br>

confluence of reduction, the correctness of types, the
uniqueness of types up to conversion, the subject reduction of the type
assignment, the strong normalization of the typed terms. The
λδ comes in several versions listed in the following table, which
includes the major milestones:<br>
