      XPost: sci.logic, comp.theory       From: janburse@fastmail.fm              Hi,              Since coinduction and streams has matured       in proof assistants, I wouldn't be surprise       if the non-termination was mapped to questions              of productivity of a coinductive stream:              "For coinductive streams (infinite lists),       productivity ensures that the definition       actually produces an infinite object       one constructor at a time."              Proof tools like Agda/Coq have productivity       checkers. Kind of doing induction the       other way around...
