+This is a hierarchy constructed in the following way, where $k$ is the
+type. $k=0$ is the type of $\mathbb{N}$, whereas $k=1$ gives the type of
+$\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$:

+- the formula is $\Sigma^k_{n+1}$ if the outermost quantifier is
+ $\exists^k$, and there are $n$ alternations between blocks of
+ $\exists^k$ and $\forall^k$ at the front of the formula.
