Method Schemas

Summary: Introduces “method schemas”: a minimal formal model capturing OO features (classes, methods, inheritance, name overloading, late binding). Studies consistency of schemas, proves general undecidability, pinpoints decidable fragments (monadic/recursion‑free), analyzes covariance and sketches incremental/sound checking.
