|
concerned with formalizing some concepts from category theory in Agda's
|
||||||
type-system: functors, applicative functors, monads, etc.. The second part of
|
type-system. This formalization should aim to incorporate definitions and
|
||||||
the project could take different directions:
|
theorems that allow us to express the correpondence in the second part: Namely
|
||||||
|
showing the correpondence between well-typed terms in cubical type theory as
|
||||||
|
presented in Huber and Thierry's paper and with that of some concepts from Category Theory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* It might involve using this formalization to prove properties of functional
|
This latter part is not entirely clear for me yet, I know that all these are relevant keywords:
|
||||||
programs.
|
|
||||||
* It may be used to prove the Modal used in Cubical Type Theory using Preshiefs.
|
* The category, C, of names and substitutions
|
||||||
|
* Cubical Sets, i.e.: Functors from C to Set (the category of sets)
|
||||||
|
* Presheaves
|
||||||
|
* Fibers and fibrations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These are all formulated in the language of Category Theory. The purpose it to
|
||||||
|
show what they correspond to in the in Cubical Type Theory. As I understand it
|
||||||
|
at least the last buzzword on this list corresponds to Type Families.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm not sure how I'll go about expressing this in Agda. I suspect it might
|
||||||
|
be a matter of demostrating that these two formulations are isomorphic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So far I have some experience with at least expressing some categorical
|
||||||
|
concepts in Agda using this new notion of equality. That is, equaility is in
|
||||||
|
some sense a continuuous path from a point of some type to another. So at the
|
||||||
|
moment, my understanding of cubical type theory is just that it has another
|
||||||
|
notion of equality but is otherwise pretty much the same.
