Could you define for me what you mean by "dynamic type"?
I think the usual definition involves type checking during
run time.

Since Aldor is statically typed how can we define this in a
useful way in Aldor?

Should we say something like this?

 The "dynamic type" of Y is

   Join( x for x in Category where Y has x)

But then dynamic type would be just type satisfaction as I
said earlier, no?
