## Idea

In general, by synthetic $(\infty,1)$-category theory one will want to mean some formulation of (∞,1)-category theory in the spirit of synthetic mathematics, here specifically relating to synthetic homotopy theory as $\infty$-category theory relates to homotopy theory.

One implementation of this idea was proposed by Riehl & Shulman 2017, based on a variant of homotopy type theory called simplicial type theory. This is further developed by Buchholtz & Weinberger 2021.

Another implementation of this idea was proposed by Weaver & Licata 2020.
