Is there a most general fixpoint?
We can write inductive types in terms of a fixpoint type:
Fix : (* -> *) -> *
In : (f : * -> *) -> f (Fix f) -> Fix f
NatF r = () + r
Nat = Fix NatF
Z = In NatF (InL ())
S n = In NatF (InR n)
But th …

Does Quantitative Type Theory make the Prop universe obsolete?
Coq (and other type theories such as Setoid Type Theory) have a Prop universe for propositions. As far as I understand this universe is needed to be sure that the propositions can be erased. In Quanti …

Giving the datatype in Agda-style syntax:
data Word : Nat -> Set where
e : Word zero
o : {size : Nat} -> Word size -> Word (suc size)
i : {size : Nat} -> Word size -> Word (suc size)
So e is an …

The Observational Equality from Epigram 2 seems to be intensional equality (like Coq and Agda have), but it also supports function extensionality. In that sense it seems that Observational Equality is …

What untyped term inhabits induction on natural numbers in CoC?
Induction on Church-encoded natural numbers (which I will call indNat) can not be defined within the Calculus of Constructions.
If we assumed indNat as an axiom, is there an untyped term that would h …

Why does Coq include let-expressions in its core language
Coq includes let-expressions in its core language.
We can translate let-expressions to applications like this:
let x : t = v in b ~> (\(x:t). b) v
I understand that this does not always work because t …
