+Explanation: A function can accept an input "term" that has a given "type", like
+this:
+
+
+ This is the input term that the function accepts
+ ⇩
+ ┌───────────────────────┐
+ │ ∀(x : Natural) → Bool │ This is the type of a function that accepts an
+ └───────────────────────┘ input term named ❰x❱ that has type ❰Natural❱
+ ⇧
+ This is the type of the input term
+
+
+ ┌────────────────┐
+ │ Bool → Integer │ This is the type of a function that accepts an anonymous
+ └────────────────┘ input term that has type ❰Bool❱
+ ⇧
+ This is the type of the input term
+
+
+... or a function can accept an input "type" that has a given "kind", like this:
+
+
+ This is the input type that the function accepts
+ ⇩
+ ┌────────────────────┐
+ │ ∀(a : Type) → Type │ This is the type of a function that accepts an input
+ └────────────────────┘ type named ❰a❱ that has kind ❰Type❱
+ ⇧
+ This is the kind of the input type
+
+
+ ┌──────────────────────┐
+ │ (Type → Type) → Type │ This is the type of a function that accepts an
+ └──────────────────────┘ anonymous input type that has kind ❰Type → Type❱
+ ⇧
+ This is the kind of the input type
+
+
+Other function inputs are $_NOT valid, like this:
+
+
+ ┌──────────────┐
+ │ ∀(x : 1) → x │ ❰1❱ is a "term" and not a "type" nor a "kind" so ❰x❱
+ └──────────────┘ cannot have "type" ❰1❱ or "kind" ❰1❱
+ ⇧
+ This is not a type or kind
+
+
+ ┌──────────┐
+ │ True → x │ ❰True❱ is a "term" and not a "type" nor a "kind" so the
+ └──────────┘ anonymous input cannot have "type" ❰True❱ or "kind" ❰True❱
+ ⇧
+ This is not a type or kind
+
+
+You annotated a function input with the following expression:
+
+↳ $txt
+
+... which is neither a type nor a kind
