Hi,

Don't worry, be happy: Take your time.
Maybe the matter rings a bell in 1, 2
or 5 years. Who knows?

Or even better, in 3, 6 or 12 months.
Maybe France has somewhere a library
with a book about Type Theory?

Or if all else fails try knocking on
the doors of INRIA, a friendly student
might appear, and explain the

matter face 2 face, in a few minutes.

Bye
