Incompleteness and Undecidability
Type theory is a formal system that categorizes expressions, variables, and functions into different types to prevent paradoxes and inconsistencies within logical systems. It serves as a foundation for reasoning about mathematics and computer science, ensuring that operations are performed on compatible data types. By establishing a hierarchy of types, it effectively addresses issues of self-reference and circularity, while also impacting how mathematical logic is structured and understood.
