9// TestOptimalityProperty verifies that Delta-Nets achieves optimal reduction
10// as claimed in the paper: "no reduction operation is applied which is rendered
11// unnecessary later, and no reduction operation which is necessary is applied
12// more than once."
13//
14// This means every normalizing term should reduce in the theoretical minimum
15// number of steps. Perfect confluence guarantees that "every normalizing
16// interaction order produces the same result in the same number of interactions."
17//
18// For each test case, we document the theoretical minimum based on:
19// 1. Beta-reductions needed in lambda calculus
20// 2. Additional fan/eraser interactions from the Delta-Net encoding
21// 3. The paper's claim that Delta-Nets matches Lévy's optimal reduction
