Thesetypetheoriescombinetheim- 2 predicativetype of propositions , from the calculus of constructions,[5], with theinductivetypesandhierarchyoftypeuniversesofMartin-Lo..f'sconstructive typetheory,[13]. Intuitivelythereisaneasywaytodetermineanupperbound ontheprooftheoreticstrength. Thisistousethe'obvious'types-as-sets- terpretation of these type theories in a strong enough classical axiomatic set theory.
