+\section{Type Checking Algorithm}
+
 This is the beginnings of a type checking algorithm for the 
 Transfer Core language. It is far from complete,
 and some of the rules make no sense at all at the moment.
 
+\subsection{Notation}
+
+$\Delta$ is a set of constructor typings.
+
+$\Gamma$ is a set of variable typings.
+
+$\Delta;\Gamma \vdash t \uparrow A$ means that in the
+variable typing context $\Gamma$ and the constructor
+typing context $\Delta$, the type of $t$ can be inferred 
+to be $A$.
+
+$\Delta;\Gamma \vdash t \downarrow A$ means that in the
+variable typing context $\Gamma$ and the constructor
+typing context $\Delta$, the type of $t$ can be 
+checked to be $A$.
+
+$\Delta \vdash_p p \downarrow A; \Gamma$ means that
+in the constructor typing context $\Delta$,
+the pattern $p$ can matched against a value of type
+$A$, and if the match succeeds, it will create
+variable bindings with the typings $\Gamma$.
