Russell and Whitehead's mathematical formalistic language expressed with great clarity. Based largely on the Peano synax, with extensions, with logical system based on Frege. Provides the intellectual formalism for types.

Ramified Type Theory - "whatever involves all of a collection must not be one of a collection"

The orders of types were eliminated by Ramsay.
