A Strange Deal

from Iowa Type Theory Commute · host Aaron Stump

The Curry-Howard isomorphism for the law of excluded middle, as a radio drama.  I first saw a version of this story performed by Phil Wadler and Frank Pfenning (wearing fake horns!) at RTA in Nara, Japan in 2005.  This is my take on it.  In a subsequent episode, I will explain how the story illustrates the computational interpretation of the law of excluded middle.
