A version of type theory. In practice any type theory is called a simple type theory if type formation is not indexed, that is the judgment that a type is well-formed has no other inputs. Contrast polymorphic type theory, where types depend on a context of type variables or dependent type theory, where types depend on a context of more general variables.
