A Reflective Higher-order Calculus

As is standard with higher-order calculi, replication and/or recursion is no longer required as a primitive operation. Somewhat more interestingly, the introduction of a process constructor to dynamically convert a process into its code is essential to obtain computational completeness, and simultaneously supplants the function of the ν operator. In fact, one may give a compositional encoding of the ν operator into a calculus featuring dynamic quote as well as dequote.
