We assume that pollution and environmental goods are inverses of each other.
By way of contradiction assume that there are points whose inverses are cyclic.
In the case of natural numbers and lists, this is established by the use of inverses to the constructors.
While the relation to lambda lifting is apparent, the authors only conjecture that lifting and dropping are inverses.
Analogous results are obtained for the inverses of the relevant maps.
The evolution equations that we now consider correspond to operators, often non-linear, that do not have inverses and so form semi-groups, not groups.
