message: \lambda P is, but LF isn't.  LF and \lambda P, though closely related, are *not* the same.  LF has a conversion rule that considers terms up to beta/eta equality, as opposed to only the beta equality in \lambda P. DPMulligan (talk) 19:29, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: LF isn't a system in the cube

message: The article currently states: all eight calculi are strongly normalizing, but this cannot be right, as one of the eight corners of the cube, the origin, is given as the untyped lambda calculus, which is not strong nor even weak normalizing.  I don't know what the correction to this statement would be. linas (talk) 17:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  lambda calculus is not strongly normalizing 

message: Why does this article use \cdot for the separator between the parameter and the body of lambdas?
\cdot is variously associated with: multiplication, dot product, and placeholder
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols)
These articles: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_constructions and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus
both use simple period instead of \cdot.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.74.137 (talk) 19:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  \cdot (interpunct)? 

message: I tagged this article as needing a complete rewrite to hopefully draw attention from an expert who can fix the inconsistent names used in the text (sometimes between different sections of the text!) and the illustration of the eponymous lambda cube.  Absent this correction, the article is _worse than useless_. 71.139.124.132 (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been using the article as a supplement to other material (in particular some material referred to), and I don't see this article as needing a rewrite.  The topic, in my opinion, is quite subtle and hard to grasp, but I can't immediately see major corrections or inconsistencies.  In fact, there is even a correction in this article to a minor error made in the original paper by Barendregt.  I certainly wouldn't call it _worse than useless_.  Can you point out a few of the issues so I can see if I can correct or elaborate upon them? Nathan.s.chappell (talk) 13:10, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: At the time I wrote that, the diagram and the text (And the text, internally) had wildly varying names for the same systems; that much at least seems to have been corrected [though I've only quickly skimmed the diagram vs. the text] so 'complete rewrite' may no longer be (and may never have been) warranted. Thanks. 71.139.124.132 (talk) 21:57, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Complete rewrite 

message: I don't really see a justification for including a link to HoTT in this article. HoTT doesn't fit into the formalism of the Lambda cube; it isn't even a pure type system. The article doesn't mention Martin-Löf type theory or identity types.
The link feels like an inclusion motivated by a desire to promote HoTT, rather than something with a legitimate informative purpose. Hames Janson (talk) 20:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
