+### SKI Combinator Calculus
+
+Let S, K, I be the following functions:
+
+`I x = x`
+
+`K x y = x`
+
+`S x y z = x z (y z)`
+
+We can convert an expression in the lambda calculus to an expression
+in the SKI combinator calculus:
+
+1. `λx.x = I`
+2. `λx.c = Kc`
+3. `λx.(y z) = S (λx.y) (λx.z)`
+
+Take the church number 2 for example:
+
+`2 = λf.λx.f(f x)`
+
+For the inner part `λx.f(f x)`:
+```
+ λx.f(f x)
+= S (λx.f) (λx.(f x)) (case 3)
+= S (K f) (S (λx.f) (λx.x)) (case 2, 3)
+= S (K f) (S (K f) I) (case 2, 1)
+```
+
+So:
+```
+ 2
+= λf.λx.f(f x)
+= λf.(S (K f) (S (K f) I))
+= λf.((S (K f)) (S (K f) I))
+= S (λf.(S (K f))) (λf.(S (K f) I)) (case 3)
+```
+
+For the first argument `λf.(S (K f))`:
+```
+ λf.(S (K f))
+= S (λf.S) (λf.(K f)) (case 3)
+= S (K S) (S (λf.K) (λf.f)) (case 2, 3)
+= S (K S) (S (K K) I) (case 2, 3)
+```
+
+For the second argument `λf.(S (K f) I)`:
+```
+ λf.(S (K f) I)
+= λf.((S (K f)) I)
+= S (λf.(S (K f))) (λf.I) (case 3)
+= S (S (λf.S) (λf.(K f))) (K I) (case 2, 3)
+= S (S (K S) (S (λf.K) (λf.f))) (K I) (case 1, 3)
+= S (S (K S) (S (K K) I)) (K I) (case 1, 2)
+```
+
+Merging them up:
+```
+ 2
+= S (λf.(S (K f))) (λf.(S (K f) I))
+= S (S (K S) (S (K K) I)) (S (S (K S) (S (K K) I)) (K I))
+```
+
+Expanding this, we would end up with the same expression for the
+church number 2 again.
+
+### SK Combinator Calculus
+
+The SKI combinator calculus can still be reduced further. We can
+remove the I combinator by noting that `I = SKK`. We can substitute
+all `I`'s with `SKK`.
+
+### Iota Combinator
+
+The SK combinator calculus is still not minimal. Defining:
+
+```
+ι = λf.((f S) K)
+```
+
+We have:
+
+```
+I = ιι
+K = ι(ιI) = ι(ι(ιι))
+S = ι(K) = ι(ι(ι(ιι)))
+```
+
