Modes of Interpretation

AbstractWe propose novel algebraic proof techniques for rewrite systems. Church–Rosser theorems and
further fundamental statements that do not mention termination are proved in Kleene algebra. Certain
reduction and transformation theorems for termination that depend on abstract commutation,
cooperation or simulation properties are proved in an extension with infinite iteration. Benefits of the
algebraic approach are simple concise calculational proofs by equational reasoning, connection with
automata-based decision procedures and a natural formal semantics for rewriting diagrams. It is
therefore especially suited for mechanization and automation

In this paper we show that costs associated with infractions of property rights, such as theft, can be
reduced by imposing lower penal-ties on individuals who admit to such infractions and make restitution.
We find that the socially optimal penalty on a confessed thief may be zero (complete amnesty) or even
negative – a person may be given a reward for confessing a theft. The benefits of amnesties were
apparently recognized in ancient times and they constitute part of Biblical Law. Moreover, such
amnesties have also been informally incorporated into modern legal systems, wherein leniency (a form
of partial amnesty) is generally shown to individuals who confess their infractions.
