In dependent type theory, an identity system is a correspondence on a type
which behaves like a weak identity type on .
Identity systems are very useful in characterizing the extensionality principle of types such as function types, dependent function types, and Tarski universes.
In dependent type theory, an identity system on a type is a correspondence on , , with a dependent function
such that for any family of types
there exists a dependent function
and a dependent function
product extensionality states that the correspondence
is an identity system.
dependent pair extensionality states that the correspondence
is an identity system.
function extensionality states that the correspondence
is an identity system.
dependent function extensionality states that the correspondence
is an identity system.
univalence or universe extensionality states that the correspondence
is an identity system.
