 ## Ladder Types
 
-### Motivation
-
 In order to implement complex datastructures and algorithms, usually
 many layers of abstraction are built ontop of each other.
 Consequently higher-level data types are encoded into lower-level data
@@ -59,48 +57,6 @@ this:

 ```
 
-### Syntax
-
-In their core form, type-terms can be one of the following:
-- (**Atomic Type**)        |   `SomeTypeName`
-- (**Literal Integer**)    |   `0` | `1` | `2` | ...
-- (**Literal Character**)  |   `'a'` | `'b'` | `'c'` | ...
-- (**Literal String**)     |   `"abc"`
-- (**Parameter Application**) | `<T1 T2>` given `T1` and `T2` are type-terms
-- (**Ladder**)                | `T1 ~ T2` given `T1` and `T2` are type-terms
-
-Ontop of that, the following syntax-sugar is defined:
-
-#### Complex Types
-- `[ T ]` <===> `<Seq T>`
-- `{ a:A b:B }` <===> `<Struct <"a" A> <"b" B>>`
-- `a:A | b:B` <===> `<Enum <"a" A> <"b" B>>`
-
-#### Function Types
-- `A -> B` <===> `<Fn A B>`
-
-#### Reference Types
-- `*A`  <===> `<Ptr A>`
-- `&A`  <===> `<ConstRef A>`
-- `&!A` <===> `<MutRef A>`
-
-
-### Equivalences
-
-#### Currying
-`<<A B> C>` <===> `<A B C>`
-
-#### Ladder-Normal-Form
-exhaustively apply `<A B~C>` ===> `<A B>~<A C>`
-
-e.g. `[<Digit 10>]~[Char]~[Ascii]` is in **LNF**
-
-#### Parameter-Normal-Form
-exhaustively apply `<A B>~<A C>` ===> `<A B~C>`
-
-e.g. `[<Digit 10>~Char~Ascii]` is in **PNF**
