contains ``Any`` or another :term:`gradual form`. A gradual type does not
necessarily represent a single set of possible runtime values; instead it
can represent a set of possible static types (a set of possible sets of
possible runtime values). Gradual types do not participate in the
:term:`subtype` relation, but they do participate in :term:`consistency
<consistent>` and :term:`assignability <assignable>`. They can be
:term:`materialized <materialize>` to a more static, or fully static,

participate in the :term:`subtype` relation, but they do participate in
:term:`consistency <consistent>` and :term:`assignability <assignable>`.
