\section{Focusing on an implementation} Call-by-push-value with complex values and stacks is odd from an operational perspective. % Values, rather than being simple trees built out of their constructors, can perform pattern matching on free variables, which would mean that they seemingly need ot be reduced operationally, when they are expected to be inert. % Dually, stacks, rather than being simple composites of \emph{destructors}, can also consist of $\lambda$s and code tuples, which are expected to \emph{delay} evaluation of their bodies in an operational semantics, whereas they are expected to \emph{force} the evaluation of the term plugged into the hole. % Levy resolves these seeming oddities by showing that as long as the values and stacks occur inside a larger term, the ``complex'' portions can be \emph{compiled away}. % Today, many years later, with the benefit of much hindsight, we can see Levy's proof as an application of the method of \emph{focusing}. Here we adapt that proof to get an operational semantics for \emph{Gradual} CBPV that will . % If we focus even more intensely we can make all upcasts between positive connectives implicit, but allowing positive variables rules out that possibility. \begin{figure}[H] \mbox{Values: $\Gamma \vdash V : A$}\\ \begin{mathpar} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash \hat V : A_1 \and A_1 \ltdyn A_2} {\Gamma \vdash \upcast {A_1}{A_2} \hat V : A_2} \end{mathpar} \mbox{Value Constructors: $\Gamma \vdash\hat V : A$}\\ \begin{mathpar} \inferrule {x : A \in \Gamma} {\Gamma \vdash x : A} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash V : A \and\Gamma \vdash V' : A'} {\Gamma \vdash ( V, V') : A \times A'} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash V : A} {\Gamma \vdash \sigma_{A,A'} V : A + A'} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash V' : A'} {\Gamma \vdash \sigma_{A,A'}' V' : A + A'} \inferrule {} {\Gamma \vdash () : 1} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash M : \u B} {\Gamma \vdash \thunk M : U \u B} \end{mathpar} \mbox{Terms: $\Gamma \vdash M : \u B$} \begin{mathpar} \inferrule {} {\Gamma \vdash \err_{\u B} : \u B} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash V : A} {\Gamma \vdash \ret V : \u F A} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash V : U \u B\and \Gamma \pipe [ \u B ] \vdash S : \u C } {\Gamma \vdash \force V; S : \u B} \inferrule {\Gamma, x : A \vdash M : \u B} {\Gamma \vdash \lambda x : A.

First, there are 3 missing multiplicative connectives: the pure function space $A \Rightarrow A'$, linear function space $\u B \multimap \u B'$ and tensor product of a value and computation type $A \otimes \u B$. % Since they are problematic I will only describe their sorts and their sequent calculus invertible rule: \begin{mathpar} \inferrule {A \vtype \and A' \vtype} {A \Rightarrow A' \vtype} \inferrule {\Gamma, A \vdash^V A'} {\Gamma \vdash^V A \Rightarrow A'} \inferrule {\u B \ctype \and \u B' \ctype} {\u B \multimap \u B' \vtype} \inferrule {\Gamma \pipe \u B \vdash \u B'} {\Gamma \vdash \u B \multimap \u B'} \inferrule {A \vtype \and \u B \ctype} {A \otimes \u B \ctype} \inferrule {\Gamma, A \pipe \u B \vdash \u C} {\Gamma \pipe A \otimes \u B \vdash \u C} \end{mathpar} First, they are ``boundary-crossing'' connectives in that they each have a \emph{covariant} argument whose sort is different from the sort of the constructor or a \emph{contravariant} argument whose sort is the same as the constructor. % The pure function space has a contravariant argument of the same sort, the linear function space has a covariant computation type argument while it is a value type and the value-computation tensor has a covariant value type argument while it is a computation type. Second, from the perspective of our focusing operational semantics, each of them violates the rule of our focusing system that the only negative value type is $U$ and the only positive computation type is $\u F$. % Note that this is similar to but not the same as the boundary crossing rule, and there are some \emph{additives} that we violate the focusing restriction but not the boundary-crossing restriction: the negative value product and the positive computation sum, which we show now. \begin{mathpar} \inferrule {A \vtype \and A' \vtype} {A \& A' \vtype} \inferrule {\Gamma \vdash A \and \Gamma \vdash A'} {\Gamma \vdash A \& A'} \inferrule {\u B \ctype \and \u B' \ctype} {\u B \oplus \u B' \ctype} \inferrule {{\Gamma \pipe \u B \vdash \u C} \and {\Gamma \pipe \u B' \vdash \u C}} {\Gamma \pipe \u B \oplus \u B' \vdash \u C} \end{mathpar}
