Good idea, but note that it is a very general statement. Many theories
can be instanciated in lamabda calculus.

Are you saying that you disallow lambda expression having the shape:
    (LAMBDA (X) F)
with no occurrence of X in F?
Put in another way, do you take elimination of information as a
primitive like in the usual lambda lambda-K calculus, or do you follow
really the original lambda-I calculus of Church. (In term of
combinator: do you allows the kestrel K (cf Kxy = y).
If you translate the hypostases in lambda-calculus, the third person
description allows information elimination, but the comp-physics (third
person plural hypostases) normally should not (see my Elsevier paper).
BTW I have already try to explain Church calculus in the list (through
their little cousins the combinators), but it is technical ... See:

I would suggest you to develop this in a web page or in a pdf, and to
refer to it, perhaps.
