A very slightly cleaned up version of my dissertation, which (1) is easier to read and (2) typesets under modern XeLaTeX. The archival version of my dissertation is at https://search.proquest.com/docview/304903505.

To typeset, just type make (assuming you have a full install of TeX Live, including XeLaTeX).
Changes in this version of the dissertation:
-
Changed from double-spacing to single-spacing. This changed most of the pagebreaks in the document.
-
Added/adjusted whitespace and linebreaks, especially around code, to account for single-spacing.
-
Let figures float when it improved readability. This changed the relative position of the text and figures for form figures.
-
Removed out-of-date curriculum vitae from end of dissertation. See http://webyrd.net/ for an up-to-date vitae.
-
Changed \shortrightarrow to \rightarrow to avoid use of St. Mary Rd font, which caused typesetting errors.
-
Removed hyperlinks, since the hyperref package was causing typesetting errors. I wish I knew how to fix this...
Known errors/typos (uncorrected):
- End of Section 1.3: "And our desire for termination prevents us from adapting Curry’s residuation." 'adapting' should read 'adopting'.
