What is The Power of Closed Reduction Strategies about?

Closed reduction strategies in the λ-calculus restrict the reduction rules: the idea is that reductions can only take place when certain terms are closed (i.e. do not contain free variables). This has lead to various applications, such as an α-conversion free calculus of explicit substitutions, and an efficient abstract machine. The main contribution of this paper is a new application of this strategy to a linear version of Gödel's System T. We show that a linear System T with closed reduction offers a huge increase in expressive power over the usual linear systems, which are 'closed by construction' rather than 'closed at reduction'.
