Propositional canonicity for natural numbers under intuitionistic LLPO
Propositional canonicity for natural numbers under intuitionistic LLPO
Let denote the version of LLPO using propositional truncation, and let be the corresponding context in a type theory with bracket types. The context has propositional canonicity for when every term in the context is propositionally equal to a numeral: there are and a term such that .
Propositional-canonicity conjecture. The context has propositional canonicity for over type theory with bracket types, as studied by Awodey and Bauer, or over similar systems studied by Maietti.
The preceding theorem shows that the analogous context does not have propositional canonicity for in any consistent theory of the specified computably enumerable kind. This conjecture predicts that propositional truncation changes the situation for bracket-type theories, but the source gives no proof or resolution.
