 lambda calculus (GTLC) and give a set-theoretic denotational semantics

+using tools from SGDT. This serves two purposes: First, it is a simple setting

+Second, constructing this semantic model establishes the validity of the

 In Section \ref{sec:gtlc-precision}, we will discuss how to extend the denotational
 semantics to accommodate the type and term precision orderings.
