TypeFrom

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.

A type expression as a first-class value, constructed from its text: `TypeFrom("list")`. The value SETTLES at construction — the text is parsed, reduced, and stored back as its canonical form — so two values built from equivalent spellings (`"integer|real"`, `"real|integer"`) are the same value. `==` between two type values is mutual subtyping (it also equates an alias with its body); `==` between a type value and anything else, a string included, is `False`. Construction never touches the type registry: a forward reference (`type X`) or an unknown name is an error, not a registration.
