This is what I understand so far:
- the maximal values is what is usually called data
Incorrect. Total functions are maximal.
- the non maximal are what is usually called code
Incorrect. `Non maximal' expressions are just expressions with embedded infinite loops or exceptions (or functions that yield such values when presented with defined arguments).
- in functional languages one can be given non maximal values (code) as input
Correct (sort of, se above). But not in the way you think. And only in non-strict functional languages. jcc
