In type theory a type formation rule is a natural deduction step roughly of the form
which says that given types , there is a new type .
For instance for product types it says that
In natural deduction the type formation rule for a kind of type is the first in a quadruple of rules that come with every kind of type:
type formation rule
Under the relation between type theory and category theory, the categorical semantics of type formation essentially corresponds to certain universal constructions in category theory.
