I had some other thoughts that I forgot to include:

* Based on a technique I believe I learned from 
https://blog.plover.com/math/24-puzzle-2.html , it would seem at least 
plausible that I could syntactically encode associative-and-commutative 
structures as bags of some sort. I'm not sure if this is a worthwhile 
avenue of exploration, but I know at least one popular parenthesis-based 
language family, Lisp, does this for some associative operations.

* I wonder whether double-lollipop should be an additive or multiplicative 
conjunction.

Totally understandable. Would there be a better set of axioms for doing 
this work? I don't know much about linear logic, and it seems like every 
author has a different presentation. Also, of course, if there's a 
preferred set of axioms that were waiting for some planned work along these 
same lines, then I'd prefer to go with what everybody else wants to do.

How far should I expect to get? Is there some ceiling that you're 
anticipating? I'm hoping that, after I finish adding axioms and proving a 
base and doing some sanity checks, I'll be able to reach anything in 
set.mm. In particular, I've convinced myself of ~ ax-1 but with lollipops 
on a whiteboard, and I think (but am not sure) that ~ ax-2 is also valid in 
linear logic. It is hopefully a matter of typing, proving, and trying to 
remember the difference between the four connectives.
