During the unification process free variables can only move one hop at a time.
Free variables originate from capture constraints.
By applying the capture rule to a constraint of the form $\wcNtype{\Delta}{N} \lessdotCC \type{T}$ the variables declared in $\Delta$
are now free in the constraint $\type{N} \lessdot \type{T}$.
The other way of free variables traveling into a constraint is by substitution.
This is only possible if a constraint contains wildcard placeholders.
And only free variables which reside in the same constraint as a wildcard placeholders have the possibility of being set in.
This effect is transitive. Free variables travel from constraint to constraint.
If there is no connection of constraints containing wildcard type placeholders between a free variable and a constraint,
then free variables cannot travel there.
\begin{lemma}
Free variables never leave their scope.
If $\tv{e} \lessdot \tv{x}, \overline{\tv{e} \lessdot \tv{x}},
\tv{r} \lessdot \tv{a}$ % TODO
Free variables travel only
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}{Free variables}\label{lemma:freeVariableScope}
Free variables never leave their scope.
If a set of constraints does not share a single wildcard type placeholder with the rest of the constraint set,
then it will never contain free variables used outside of it.
$(\Delta, \sigma) = \unify{}(\Delta_{in}, C \cup C')$
and $\text{wtv}(C') \cap \text{wtv}(C) = \emptyset$
and $\overline{\sigma(\tv{x}) = \wcNtype{\Delta}{N}}$
then $\Delta, \Delta', \overline{\Delta}$ are all the variables used in $C'$.
\end{lemma}
\textit{Proof:} This is due to free variables only travel inbetween constraints and themselves via substitution.
If $\type{S} \lessdotCC \type{T}$ spawns free variables, they will be contained within the reach of the wildcard type placeholders
used for the method call.
No other free variables can move into that scope.
With this lemma we can further proof that during a method call only the generated free variables are used.

% Free variables never leave their scope.
