Higher-dimensional categories have recently emerged as a natural context for modelling intensional type theories; this raises the question of what higher-categorical structures the syntax of type theory naturally forms. We show that for any type in Martin-Lof Intensional Type Theory, the system of terms of that type and its higher identity types forms a weak *** -category in the sense of Leinster. Precisely, we construct a contractible globular operad ${P_{\mathit{ML}^{\mathrm{Id}}}}$ of type-theoretically definable composition laws, and give an action of this operad on any type and its identity types.
