   Format: MarkdownItexI have polished up wording and formatting of this lttle entry. For instance I have added hierarchical parenthesis into the two formulas, in order to clarify the operator bindings. Also, I have taken the liberty of replacing additive notation by non-additive notation (e.g. "$\sqcup$" instead of "$+$" and "$\ast$" instead of "$1$"). I know that this is an uphill battle against an age-old tradition, but just a moment of reflection reveals that using notation appropriate for linear types on non-linear types is unsystematic, ill-advised in the long run and, last not least, unnecessary. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/family+of+finite+types/2">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/family+of+finite+types/2">v2</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/family+of+finite+types">current</a>
