In proof theory, proof nets are a geometrical method of representing proofs that
eliminates two forms of bureaucracy that differentiate proofs: (A) irrelevant syntactical features of regular proof calculi, and (B) the order of rules applied in a derivation. In this way, the formal properties of proof identity correspond more closely to the intuitively desirable properties. This distinguishes proof nets from regular proof calculi such as the natural deduction calculus and the sequent calculus, where these phenomena are present. Proof nets were introduced by Jean-Yves Girard.
As an illustration, these two linear logic proofs are identical:
sequential proof structure (i.e. something that seems to be a proofnet) is actually a concrete proof structure (i.e. something that encodes a valid derivation...
