Structured Propositions as Types. Hanks, P. W. 120(477):11–52.

Powerful insights arise from linking two fields of study previ- ously thought separate. Examples include Descartes's coordinates, which links geometry to algebra, Planck's Quantum Theory, which links particles to waves, and Shannon's Information Theory, which links thermodynamics to communication. Such a synthesis is of- fered by the principle of Propositions as Types, which links logic to computation. At first sight it appears to be a simple coincidence— almost a pun—but it turns out to be remarkably robust, inspiring the design of automated proof assistants and programming languages, and continuing to influence the forefronts of computing
