Type
Generated from the engine's own definition: compute-engine's symbol, which we neither extend nor document by hand. No examples yet — the crosswalk is the reason it has a page.
The STATIC type of an expression, as a type value: Type(3) is TypeFrom("integer"). The observer does not evaluate its operand. Recover the text with StringFrom(Type(x)); in a string interpolation a type value renders as its text directly. BREAKING (2026-08-19, ruling R3 of docs/TYPE-SYSTEM.md): the result used to be a STRING, and Type(x) == "some text" is now always False — use x is T, Subtype(Type(x), u), or compare StringFrom text.
