That depends on what presentation of Type Theory you are using. Your remarks apply to the extrinsic approach from the last millennium. More recent presentation of Type Theory built in substitution and weakening and use an intrinsic approach which avoids talking about preterms you don’t really care about.

I would just like to point out that substutition and weakening typically are not part of the rules. They are shown to be admissible. In this spirit, the question should have been: what is the precise version of substitution and weakening (which is a special case of substitution) that is admissible in cohesive type theory?

With kind regards,

Andrej
