Just to be precise: what I spoke about in my previous message where object-oriented models of mathematics, whereas the 
systems above are lambda-calculus models of object-oriented programming.  The two models above (ie $\varsigma$ and 
$\lambda \&$) are beautiful pieces of mathematics that nicely capture most (but unfortunately not all) of the essence 
of object-oriented systems.
