+Abstract Types
+==============
+
+Kind 2 supports Lustre's **abstract types**, 
+which are user-declared types without definitions.
+Abstract types are declared with the syntax ``type <name>``.
+Below is a simple Lustre file that declares an identity 
+node that takes an input of (abstract) type ``T`` 
+and returns an output of type ``T`` equal to the input.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    type T;
+    function id_T (x: T) returns (y: T);
+    let
+        y = x;
+    tel
+
+In Kind 2, all abstract types have infinite domains. 
+Therefore, to maintain soundness, quantification over variables with abstract
+types is not allowed. For example, the following code block 
+is rejected by Kind 2, since the contract assumption would constrain 
+type ``T`` to have a finite domain.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    type T;
+    function id_T (x: T) returns (y: T);
+    (*@contract
+    assume forall (x:T) (forall (y: T) x = y);
+    *)
+    let
+        y = x;
+    tel
