 - Tree Calculus operator: `t`
-- Assignments: `x = t t`
+- Immutable definitions: `x = t t`
-- Immutable definitions
+- Lambda abstraction: `id = (a : a)`
-- Lambda abstraction syntax: `id = (\a : a)`
 - List, Number, and String literals: `[(2) ("Hello")]` 
 - Function application: `not (not false)`
-- Higher order/first-class functions: `map (\a : append a "!") [("Hello")]`
+- Higher order/first-class functions: `map (a : append a "!") [("Hello")]`
 - Intensionality blurs the distinction between functions and data (see REPL examples)
