abstract = {We extend a static type-and-capability system with new
mechanisms for expressing the promise that a certain
abstract value evolves monotonically with time; for
enforcing this promise; and for taking advantage of
this promise to establish non-trivial properties of
programs. These mechanisms are independent of the
treatment of mutable state, but combine with it to
offer a flexible account of ``monotonic state''.\par We
apply these mechanisms to solve two reasoning
challenges that involve mutable state. First, we show
how an implementation of thunks in terms of references
can be assigned types that reflect time complexity
properties, in the style of Danielsson (2008). Second,
we show how an implementation of hash-consing can be
assigned a specification that conceals the existence of
an internal state yet guarantees that two pieces of
input data receive the same hash code if and only if
they are equal.}
