I have a few comments:

        ^^^
Please remove this "the".

If TYPE is an object, then it probably isn't a good idea to call it
TYPE.  Why not OBJECT?

Anyway, what does it mean "the type represented by TYPE"?  How can a
type be "represented"?  Did you perhaps mean "the type of TYPE"?

Suggest to rephrase to avoid passive tense.

Thanks.
