| contents | We present a type theory combining both linearity and dependency by stratifying typing rules into a level for logics and a level for programs. The distinction between logics and programs decouples their semantics, allowing the type system to assume tight resource bounds. A natural notion of irrelevancy is established where all proofs and types occurring inside programs are fully erasable without compromising their operational behavior. Through a heap-based operational semantics, we show that extracted programs always make computational progress and run memory clean. Additionally, programs can be freely reflected into the logical level for conducting deep proofs in the style of standard dependent type theories. This enables one to write resource safe programs and verify their correctness using a unified language. |
