Generic type theory

Generic type theory is a framework used in mathematics and computer science to understand and categorize types of objects or data. It allows us to develop concepts that apply broadly, rather than being limited to specific instances. For example, instead of defining a function that works only for numbers, a generic type can define a function that operates on any data type, like numbers or letters. This approach enhances flexibility, promotes code reuse, and supports the creation of more abstract and versatile theories and programs, making it easier for developers to handle various types of data uniformly.
