Martin-Löf type theory is a formal system with basic homotopy theoretic concepts built in at a foundational level. It is believed that it is an "internal language of higher categories". However, even formalizing this statement seems difficult. I will propose a conjecture making it precise and outline an ongoing work towards the proof.
