Not every weakly constant function is conditionally constant
As discussed at length on the mailing list some time ago, there are several different things that one might mean by saying that a function is “constant”. Here is my preferred terminology: is constant...
View ArticleModules for Modalities
As defined in chapter 7 of the book, a modality is an operation on types that behaves somewhat like the n-truncation. Specifically, it consists of a collection of types, called the modal ones, together...

First of all, in case anyone missed it, Chris Kapulkin recently wrote a guest post at the n-category cafe summarizing the current state of the art regarding “homotopy type theory as the internal...

In this post I will argue that, improving on previous work of Awodey-Frey-Speight, (higher) inductive types can be defined using impredicative encodings with their full dependent induction principles —...
