Popis: We use intersection types as a tool for obtaining λ-models. Relying on the notion of easy intersection type theory, we successfully build a λ-model in which the interpretation of an arbitrary simple easy term is any filter which can be described by a continuous predicate. This allows us to prove two results. The first gives a proof of consistency of the λ-theory where the λ-term (λx.xx)(λx.xx) is forced to behave as the join operator. This result has interesting consequences on the algebraic structure of the lattice of λ-theories. The second result is that for any simple easy term, there is a λ-model, where the interpretation of the term is the minimal fixed point operator.
