| 2024-12-29 05:35:51 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Bowuigi> Dedekind/Cauchy reals don't seem to require infinite alphabets |

| 2024-12-29 05:32:09 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> Bowuigi: this is probably taken care of if the alphabet is assumed to be countable. cannot have uncountably-many terms arising from countable alphabet |
| 2024-12-29 05:30:48 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Bowuigi> Tho Nat may not be enough, unsure if larger infinities can be represented without dependent types |
| 2024-12-29 05:29:24 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Bowuigi> That makes sense I guess |

| 2024-12-29 04:46:01 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> so that means the only "value" or only "worth" of "IndexType" is how many ways it can be different, i.e., its cardinality |

| 2024-12-29 04:37:52 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> i.e. we use the fact that "choiceFunction :: IndexType -> Type" applied to "index :: IndexType" will produce a term "resultingTerm :: Type" which has no subterms like "someSubterm :: IndexType" |

| 2024-12-29 04:30:38 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> these differences* |
| 2024-12-29 04:30:28 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> so if you have "someTerm :: Type", it has at most finitely many differences with "anotherTerm :: Type", which means these can be indexed by a function on the naturals |
| 2024-12-29 04:29:25 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> the argument also follows from considering that any term (e.g. in System F) has finitely many symbols and therefore can only have finitely many differences with any other term |
| 2024-12-29 04:28:58 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> Bowuigi: well, there is nothing in "IndexType :: Type" that can be used to make a value of "Type". so it can only allow you to choose a value. i.e., the term that will result from applying "choiceFunction :: IndexType -> Type" will not contain any term from "IndexType" |

| 2024-12-29 04:22:24 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Bowuigi> I still don't understand how does that limit you to Nat/Fin |

| 2024-12-29 04:21:17 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> Leary: not sure either, just threw that out there to make the problem more concrete |

| 2024-12-29 04:20:32 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> "choiceFunction :: IndexType -> Type", where "IndexType :: Type" |
| 2024-12-29 04:20:08 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> that's not the type it has, the choice function in which it serves as the indexing type has that type |
| 2024-12-29 04:19:18 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> wait |
| 2024-12-29 04:19:15 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> uh |
| 2024-12-29 04:18:33 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <thirdofmay18081814goya> Bowuigi: the extent of the work that can be done by an indexing type is that of specifying another type, so it has type "IndexType -> Type", where "IndexType : Type" |
| 2024-12-29 04:18:13 +0100 | <Leary> | I don't see what an ordering on the index kind has to do with anything. |
| 2024-12-29 04:17:05 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <Bowuigi> Wait how? |
