What the hell is this?

The linked paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.20314 claims the squiggles they introduce are apparently a model to solve Levy-optimal parallel reduction of lambda terms.

But the author has no affiliation, it's very weird they're calling this "lambda-reduction" and it heavily smells of AI slop?

I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't look right. Can anyone with expertise in this field chime in?
