Internalizing judgemental structure
A well-justified connective (i.e. way of introducing types and their terms) abides the following:
Slogan 2.5.4
A connective in type theory is given by (1) a natural type-forming operation
- a natural isomorphism relating
to judgementally-determined structure, orT m ( Γ , Υ ) - a collection of natural term constructors for
which, for all dependent typesΥ , determine a natural isomorphism relatingΓ . Υ ⊢ 𝐴 to judgementally-determined structure.1T m ( Γ . Υ , 𝐴 )
The first camp accounts for the most well-behaved connectives, the latter for inductive types.
