Abstract
I [Peter Dybjer] will give an intuitionistic view of Seely’s interpretation of Martin-Löf type in locally cartesian closed categories. The point is to use Martin-Löf type theory itself as metalanguage, and a constructive notion of category, a so called E-category. As a categorical substitute for the formal system of Martin-Löf type theory I will use E-categories with families, and discuss how to interpret such categories in E-locally cartesian closed categories. This is joint work with Alexandre Buisse, who has formalized the key part of this proof in Coq.
