Mechanics, or Magic?: STLC and Propositional Logic [Intro to HoTT, No. 6, Part 0]
Links and more: intro-hott.video/videos/6/part0
Returning to the logic interpretation, we round out intuitionistic propositional logic with logical conjunction, disjunction, negation, and equivalence, all implemented in informal/Agda formal/deductive formal HoTT.

Homotopy type theory (HoTT) is a new branch of type theory and a new foundation for mathematics. It serves as a common language for reasoning about computation (functional programming), about mathematical structure (synthetic homotopy theory and higher category theory), and about constructive logic. This Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory video lecture series is intended to explain what HoTT is, show how to work in HoTT (including how formalization in Agda works), and give intuition for why HoTT is the way it is. I don’t assume any particular background familiarity, but the more you know about mathematics, computer science, and logic, the more you’ll be able to get out of these videos. Enjoy!

    Wow, the connection between the conditional and functions blew my mind! But I'm a bit confused about the nature of what exactly HoTT is and its connection to logic. As I understand it, HoTT is not built on first-order logic like ZF, but rather logic "comes with" HoTT. So are inference rules like modus ponens part of HoTT? and does HoTT have a list of rules and axioms like ZF? Also if i'm not mistaken, we're also using the Deduction theorem to prove statements in this video, correct ? (Is that also part of the specification for HoTT?)

    Really enjoying this video series so far. Coming at this from a professional software engineer POV with a casual interest in mathematics, it's easy to follow (thank god you didn't go too deep on topology or else I'd be lost). Never even occurred to me that type systems could be used for something this powerful.

    I don't like math being a social activity. Convincing a bunch of apes does not constitute a proof to me. I hated that at Uni. - Where is the proof that your proof is correct? - Oh, you convinced me? Good job, but I'm just a stupid monkey, why should that matter? - Sure, if a monkey finds inconsistency, that is great, but if not, how is that a proof? - That's not math. That's rhetoric, and we all know how well that can go...

      I also hated how they would mix "inconsistently overloaded" math notation and natural language, and expected to be taken seriously. - Not just using natural language as comments to explain their ideas, but as part of the proof itself? Often not using exactly defined language...

      I consider crucial the ASI argument: - if ASI proves something that humans cannot comprehend, does that mean it's not proven? - Can ASI convince humans of something that is not true? and flipped for clarity: - if a scientist proves something that "dogs/chimps/children" cannot comprehend, does that mean it's not proven? - Can a scientist convince "dogs/chimps/children" of something that is not true? Yeah ... what a horrible metric.

      If one context is an extension of the other (or if both are extensions of a context in which the function & argument can be expressed) then we can make sense of it. This is can be deduced from the rule as stated here. But in general, there's no "context merging" rule

  • @SloeElvis
    @SloeElvis Рік тому

    Question: if = is judgmental equality in Agda, what about the fact that we can have a proof that two values are equal as an argument to a function, say? fn :: {A : Type} {a b : A} -> (a tripleEquals b) -> (b tripleEquals a) fn refl = refl The (a tripleEquals b) type is a proof that the two values are the same, which if I'm following correctly, means that they compute to the same thing, therefore are judgmentally equal. But we need to have tripleEquals in the type signature. Is the equality type also a representation of judgmental equality?

    • @jacobneu-videos
      @jacobneu-videos Рік тому

      Triple equals in Agda is the identity type, or propositional equality, which is weaker than judgmental equality. Eventually I'll make videos about identity types in HoTT, but I'm planning on doing dependent types and inductive types first

    • @jacobneu-videos
      @jacobneu-videos Рік тому

      Good question. Writing a (dot equal) a : A is not saying a (dot equal) a is a term of type A. This is just the notation for saying that a (which *is* a term of type A) is judgmentally equal to a. In practice, this last ":A" is usually dropped, since we know what type the term a is of. Later, we'll introduce identity types, where, as you say, a=a is a type.
