TOC

At its core, Agda is a dependently typed lambda calculus. The grammar of terms is as follows.

 a ::= x         | λ x → a     | a a         | (x : a) → a    | Set[n]
       variable  | abstraction | application | function space | universe

(The optional n following Set denotes a level; the default is 0.)

Terms must be well-scoped and well-typed. To be more precise, see the typing rules.
