Abstract
Substitution in the calculus is a subtle operation. In a formal description, Barendregt's variable convention isassumed to avoid variable capture, but such an assumption is notwell suited for implementation on computers. We introduce graphrepresentation and manipulation of Terms, in which bound andfree variables are encoded by using hyperlinks with differentattributes. A graph type called hlground is generalized to identifythe scope of a term n in substitution m[x:= n], which enablesbound variables and free variables to have suitable behaviorduring the substitution. Our representation of the Terms arereadable and the definition of substitution in this technique isfree from any side conditions on the freeness and freshness of variables.
