   *This was my original inspiration*   
   Kurt Gödel in his 1944 Russell's mathematical logic gave the following   
   definition of the "theory of simple types" in a footnote:   
      
   By the theory of simple types I mean the doctrine which says that the   
   objects of thought (or, in another interpretation, the symbolic   
   expressions) are divided into types, namely: individuals, properties of   
   individuals, relations between individuals, properties of such   
   relations, etc. (with a similar hierarchy for extensions), and that   
   sentences of the form: " a has the property φ ", " b bears the relation   
   R to c ", etc. are meaningless, if a, b, c, R, φ are not of types   
   fitting together.
