+# Simple Extensible Human Notation (.sehn)
+
+## Base Kinds
+
+| name   | description                |
+| ------ | -------------------------- |
+| `none` | Represents nothing         |
+| `bool` | Represents a boolean value |
+| `real` | Represents a real number   |
+| `text` | Represents text            |
+| `dict` | A key-value structure      |
+| `list` | A collection structure     |
+| `kind` | A reflective kind          |
+
+### `none`
+
+A `none` represents the absence of any value.
+
+### `bool`
+
+1. `true`
+2. `false`
+
+### `real`
+
+1. `<int>`
+2. `<sig>e<exp>`
+3. `<int>.<frac>`
+
+| part   | allowed value   |
+| ------ | --------------- |
+| `int`  | `-?[1-9][0-9]*` |
+| `frac` | `[0-9]*`        |
+| `sig`  | `<int>`         |
+| `exp`  | `<int>`         |
+
+### `text`
+
+1. `"<text>"`
+2. Multiline:
+    ```
+    `
+        "<text>"

+
+A `text` value holds low and behold, text.
+
+### `dict`
+
+1. `{"<text>": <any>, ...}`
+
+A dictionary is a structure with `text` keys mapping to any value.
+
+### `list`
+
+1. `[<any>, ...]`
+
+A list is a structure with a sequence of any value.
+
+### `kind`
+
+1. `<base-kind>`
+2. `<standard-kind>`
+2. `<app-kind>`
+
+| kind              | allowed value                              |
+| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| `<base-kind>`     | `none\|bool\|real\|text\|dict\|list\|kind` |
+| `<standard-kind>` | `(?!(<base-kind>))[a-z][a-z0-9/]*`         |
+| `<app-kind>`      | `[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\]*`                       |
