  3. term elimination rule
  4. computation rule

semantics

Type-theoretic model categories

under construction

Idea

Homotopy type theory has categorical semantics in suitable categories which in turn present certain (infinity,1)-categories.

Decomposing the structure in homotopy type theory in layers as

  1. dependent type theory

  2. with identity types

  3. and univalent universe types.

A 1-category whose internal logic can interpret this needs to

  1. be a locally cartesian closed category

  2. equipped with a weak factorization system with stable path objects, such that acyclic cofibrations are preserved by pullback along fibrations between fibrant objects.

  3. (needs to be finished)
