2025-01-10 11:28:53 +0100 <merijn> What is the source of confusion?
2025-01-10 11:27:42 +0100 <alist> lol
2025-01-10 11:26:07 +0100 <merijn> That sounds about right for reading type theory papers :D
2025-01-10 11:24:57 +0100 <alist> ok now i am confused
2025-01-10 11:23:36 +0100 <merijn> i.e. types as sets of elements and functions as relations between their input set and output set
2025-01-10 11:22:57 +0100 <merijn> alist: In section 2, on the bottom of page 4 the example is basically explaining an isomorphism between "types and functions" and "sets and relations"
2025-01-10 11:21:32 +0100 <merijn> Not that everything is built in term of those
2025-01-10 11:21:26 +0100 <merijn> alist: The identity type is only mentioned as a special relation
2025-01-10 11:21:03 +0100 <alist> i see i see
2025-01-10 11:20:47 +0100 <merijn> I don't think that's intended anywhere in the paper
2025-01-10 11:20:22 +0100 <merijn> from the constant types, which are represented as identity relations
2025-01-10 11:20:15 +0100 <merijn> alist: "i thought the relations we are quantifying over are inductively built
2025-01-10 11:19:56 +0100 <merijn> alist: ah, I think you misinterpreted part of the intro stuff
2025-01-10 11:11:47 +0100 <alist> it begins with the phrase "This can be further expanded in terms of the definition[...]"
2025-01-10 11:11:03 +0100 <alist> in the paragraph preceding the fifth block of latex in section 3.1, the author says they are "specializing to the case where the relation[...]"
2025-01-10 11:09:51 +0100 <alist> ah no worries
2025-01-10 11:09:34 +0100 <merijn> I'm not really sure which part of the section you're referring too (and also, it's been a while since I read this xD)
2025-01-10 11:05:06 +0100 <alist> i will add that although the identity relations are functions, on page 1 the author says that the result holds for "all total functions" with the proper (co)domain
2025-01-10 11:02:57 +0100 <alist> oh it is on page 5. sorry, it's 4am here
2025-01-10 11:02:25 +0100 <merijn> Link? Because my copy has section 3.1 on page 5 :p
2025-01-10 11:00:39 +0100 <alist> any thoughts are appreciated
2025-01-10 10:58:54 +0100 <alist> so, then, is the author really is quantifying over all possible relations? i am just confused
2025-01-10 10:57:26 +0100 <alist> as far as i can tell, none of the type constructors' relation analogs will give rise to relations which are also set-theoretic functions
2025-01-10 10:56:58 +0100 <alist> however, i'm confused, because i thought the relations we are quantifying over are inductively built from the constant types, which are represented as identity relations
2025-01-10 10:55:55 +0100 <alist> in the parametricity demonstration in section 3.1 on page 8, the author uses their trick of specializing the quantified relations to the case of set-theoretic functions
2025-01-10 10:54:24 +0100 <alist> i have another question about the paper "theorems for free"
