Greg Restall on Nostr: Do you happen to know who introduced the name “affine logic” for linear logic ...
Do you happen to know who introduced the name “affine logic” for linear logic plus weakening? I thought it dated back to Girard's 1987 TCS paper, but I can’t find it there.
(There are plenty of uses of the term in the 1990s, but I can’t find any references to the source.)
