+Homotopy type theory is essentially extended Martin-Löf Type Theory
+(MLTT), with a better formulation of equality which allows it to express
+equality of types in a tower of equalities. This notion of equality
+comes from homotopy, but doesn't really need homotopy to understand the
+formulation of equality. Instead, it is just a different formulation,
+using the univalence axiom (UA) as the basis to the system.
