A Polymorphic Calculus for Views and Object Sharing

Summary: Polymorphic calculus unifying views and object sharing via inclusion specs: predicate-selected subsets and viewing functions (both arbitrary polymorphic programs), allowing cyclic/mutually-recursive class views. Sound polymorphic type system with inference for static checking. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
