behavioural type system defined (Scalas, Yoshida)

[dckc]

This was sort of news to me:

Our new MPST theory is a case of behavioural type system: it treats types as
simple processes that reduce and evolve along a typed computation; and since types are simpler
than programs, they can be analysed with simpler methods (e.g., finite model checking via our
parameter φ, cf. ğ6).
