Martin Escardo, before 2018. A better version is in MGS.Yoneda, but currently we are using this one. We consider "natural transformations" Nat A B (defined elsewhere) and the Yoneda-machinery for them as discussed in http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/yoneda/yoneda.html (2015). See also [1] Egbert Rijke, Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory, 2022. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2212.11082 [2] Egbert Rijke, Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory, 2012. Master Thesis. https://hottheory.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/hott2.pdf (Section 2.8). [3] Egbert Rijke, A type-theoretical Yoneda Lemma, 2012. http://homotopytypetheory.org/2012/05/02/a-type-theoretical-yoneda-lemma/ \begin{code} {-# OPTIONS --safe --without-K #-} module UF.Yoneda where open import MLTT.Spartan open import UF.Base open import UF.Equiv open import UF.Equiv-FunExt open import UF.EquivalenceExamples open import UF.FunExt open import UF.Retracts open import UF.Subsingletons open import UF.Subsingletons-FunExt \end{code} The Yoneda element induced by a natural transformation: \begin{code} yoneda-elem : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β Nat (Id x) A β A x yoneda-elem x A Ξ· = Ξ· x refl \end{code} We use capital Yoneda for the same constructions with the definition of "Nat" expanded, beginning here: \begin{code} Yoneda-elem : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β ((y : X) β x οΌ y β A y) β A x Yoneda-elem = yoneda-elem \end{code} The natural transformation induced by an element: \begin{code} yoneda-nat : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β A x β Nat (Id x) A yoneda-nat x A a y p = transport A p a Yoneda-nat : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β A x β (y : X) β x οΌ y β A y Yoneda-nat = yoneda-nat \end{code} Notice that this is the based recursion principle for the identity type. The Yoneda Lemma says that every natural transformation is induced by its Yoneda element: \begin{code} yoneda-lemma : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β yoneda-nat x A (yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) β Ξ· yoneda-lemma x A Ξ· y refl = refl Yoneda-lemma : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (Ξ· : (y : X) β x οΌ y β A y) (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β transport A p (Ξ· x refl) οΌ Ξ· y p Yoneda-lemma = yoneda-lemma \end{code} From another point of view, the Yoneda Lemma says that every natural transformation Ξ· is recursively defined. \begin{code} yoneda-lemma' : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β yoneda-nat x A (yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) οΌ Ξ· yoneda-lemma' {π€} {π₯} fe x A Ξ· = dfunext (fe π€ (π€ β π₯)) (Ξ» y β dfunext (fe π€ π₯) (Ξ» p β yoneda-lemma x A Ξ· y p)) \end{code} The word "computation" here arises from a tradition in MLTT and should not be taken too seriously: \begin{code} Yoneda-computation : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (a : A x) β transport A refl a οΌ a Yoneda-computation x A a = refl yoneda-computation : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (a : A x) β yoneda-elem x A (yoneda-nat x A a) οΌ a yoneda-computation x A = Yoneda-computation x A yoneda-elem-is-equiv : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β is-equiv (yoneda-elem x A) yoneda-elem-is-equiv fe x A = qinvs-are-equivs (yoneda-elem x A) (yoneda-nat x A , yoneda-lemma' fe x A , yoneda-computation x A) yoneda-nat-is-equiv : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β is-equiv (yoneda-nat x A) yoneda-nat-is-equiv fe {X} x A = qinvs-are-equivs (yoneda-nat x A) (yoneda-elem x A , yoneda-computation x A , yoneda-lemma' fe x A) yoneda-equivalence : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β A x β Nat (Id x) A yoneda-equivalence fe x A = yoneda-nat x A , yoneda-nat-is-equiv fe x A Yoneda-equivalence : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β A x β (β y β x οΌ y β A y) Yoneda-equivalence = yoneda-equivalence \end{code} Next we observe that centers of contraction are universal elements in the sense of category theory. \begin{code} is-universal-element-of : {X : π€ Μ } (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β Ξ£ A β π€ β π₯ Μ is-universal-element-of {π€} {π₯} {X} A (x , a) = (y : X) (b : A y) β Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , yoneda-nat x A a y p οΌ b universal-element-is-central : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (Ο : Ξ£ A) β is-universal-element-of A Ο β is-central (Ξ£ A) Ο universal-element-is-central (x , a) u (y , b) = to-Ξ£-οΌ (u y b) central-point-is-universal : {X : π€ Μ } (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (Ο : Ξ£ A) β is-central (Ξ£ A) Ο β is-universal-element-of A Ο central-point-is-universal A (x , a) Ο y b = from-Ξ£-οΌ (Ο(y , b)) \end{code} The following says that if the pair (x , a) is a universal element, then the natural transformation it induces (namely yoneda-nat x a) has a section and a retraction (which can be taken to be the same function), and hence is an equivalence. Here having a section or retraction is data not property in general, but it is in some cases considered below. \begin{code} universality-section : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (a : A x) β is-universal-element-of A (x , a) β (y : X) β has-section (yoneda-nat x A a y) universality-section {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} x a u y = s y , Ο y where s : (y : X) β A y β x οΌ y s y b = prβ (u y b) Ο : (y : X) (b : A y) β yoneda-nat x A a y (s y b) οΌ b Ο y b = prβ (u y b) section-universality : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (a : A x) β ((y : X) β has-section(yoneda-nat x A a y)) β is-universal-element-of A (x , a) section-universality x a Ο y b = prβ(Ο y) b , prβ(Ο y) b \end{code} NB. Notice that Yoneda-nat gives two different natural transformations, depending on the number of arguments it takes, namely the natural transformation (x : X) β A x β Nat (Id x) A and the natural transformation Nat (Id x) β A (or (y : X) β x οΌ y β A y) if two additional arguments x and a are given. Then the Yoneda Theorem (proved below) says that any Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) is a natural equivalence iff Ξ£ A is a singleton. This, in turn, is equivalent to Ξ· being a natural retraction, and we start with it: \begin{code} Yoneda-section-forth : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β β! A β (y : X) β has-section (Ξ· y) Yoneda-section-forth {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} x Ξ· i y = g where u : is-universal-element-of A (x , yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) u = central-point-is-universal A (x , yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) (singletons-are-props i (x , yoneda-elem x A Ξ·)) h : yoneda-nat x A (yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) y βΌ Ξ· y h = yoneda-lemma x A Ξ· y g : has-section (Ξ· y) g = has-section-closed-under-βΌ' (universality-section x (yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) u y) h Yoneda-section-back : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β ((y : X) β has-section (Ξ· y)) β β!

A β ((y : X) β has-section (Ξ· y)) Yoneda-section x Ξ· = Yoneda-section-forth x Ξ· , Yoneda-section-back x Ξ· \end{code} Here is a direct application (24th April 2018). \begin{code} equiv-adj : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (f : X β Y) (g : Y β X) (Ξ· : (x : X) (y : Y) β f x οΌ y β g y οΌ x) β ((x : X) (y : Y) β has-section (Ξ· x y)) β is-vv-equiv g equiv-adj f g Ξ· = (Ξ» i x β Yoneda-section-back (f x) (Ξ· x) (i x)) , (Ξ» Ο x β Yoneda-section-forth (f x) (Ξ· x) (Ο x)) \end{code} This motivates the following definition. \begin{code} has-adj : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } β (Y β X) β π€ β π₯ Μ has-adj g = Ξ£ f κ (codomain g β domain g) , Ξ£ Ξ· κ (β x y β f x οΌ y β g y οΌ x) , (β x y β has-section(Ξ· x y)) is-vv-equiv-has-adj : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (g : Y β X) β is-vv-equiv g β has-adj g is-vv-equiv-has-adj {π€} {π₯} {X} {Y} g isv = f , Ξ· , hass where f : X β Y f = prβ (prβ (vv-equivs-are-equivs g isv)) gf : (x : X) β g (f x) οΌ x gf = prβ (prβ (vv-equivs-are-equivs g isv)) Ξ· : (x : X) (y : Y) β f x οΌ y β g y οΌ x Ξ· x y p = transport (Ξ» - β g - οΌ x) p (gf x ) hass : (x : X) (y : Y) β has-section (Ξ· x y) hass x = Yoneda-section-forth (f x) (Ξ· x) (isv x) has-adj-is-vv-equiv : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (g : Y β X) β has-adj g β is-vv-equiv g has-adj-is-vv-equiv g (f , Ξ· , hass) x = Yoneda-section-back (f x) (Ξ· x) (hass x) \end{code} A natural transformation of the above kind is an equivalence iff it has a section, as shown in https://github.com/HoTT/book/issues/718#issuecomment-65378867: \begin{code} Hedberg-lemma : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : (y : X) β x οΌ y β x οΌ y) (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β Ξ· x refl β p οΌ Ξ· y p Hedberg-lemma x = yoneda-lemma x (Id x) idemp-is-id : {X : π€ Μ } {x : X} (e : (y : X) β x οΌ y β x οΌ y) (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β e y (e y p) οΌ e y p β e y p οΌ p idemp-is-id {π€} {X} {x} e y p idemp = cancel-left ( e x refl β e y p οΌβ¨ Hedberg-lemma x e y (e y p) β© e y (e y p) οΌβ¨ idemp β© e y p οΌβ¨ (Hedberg-lemma x e y p)β»ΒΉ β© e x refl β p β) nat-retraction-is-section : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β ((y : X) β has-section(Ξ· y)) β ((y : X) β is-section(Ξ· y)) nat-retraction-is-section {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} x Ξ· hs = hr where s : (y : X) β A y β x οΌ y s y = prβ (hs y) Ξ·s : {y : X} (a : A y) β Ξ· y (s y a) οΌ a Ξ·s {y} = prβ (hs y) e : (y : X) β x οΌ y β x οΌ y e y p = s y (Ξ· y p) idemp : (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β e y (e y p) οΌ e y p idemp y p = ap (s y) (Ξ·s (Ξ· y p)) i : (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β e y p οΌ p i y p = idemp-is-id e y p (idemp y p) hr : (y : X) β is-section(Ξ· y) hr y = s y , i y \end{code} The above use of the word "is" is justified by the following: \begin{code} nat-retraction-is-section-uniquely : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β ((y : X) β has-section (Ξ· y)) β ((y : X) β is-singleton (is-section(Ξ· y))) nat-retraction-is-section-uniquely fe x Ξ· hs y = pointed-props-are-singletons (nat-retraction-is-section x Ξ· hs y) (sections-have-at-most-one-retraction fe (Ξ· y) (hs y)) nat-having-section-is-prop : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β is-prop ((y : X) β has-section (Ξ· y)) nat-having-section-is-prop {π€} {π₯} fe {X} x Ξ· Ο = Ξ -is-prop (fe π€ (π€ β π₯)) Ξ³ Ο where Ξ³ : (y : X) β is-prop (has-section (Ξ· y)) Ξ³ y = retractions-have-at-most-one-section fe (Ξ· y) (nat-retraction-is-section x Ξ· Ο y) nats-with-sections-are-equivs : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β ((y : X) β has-section(Ξ· y)) β is-fiberwise-equiv Ξ· nats-with-sections-are-equivs x Ξ· hs y = hs y , nat-retraction-is-section x Ξ· hs y \end{code} We are interested in the following corollaries: \begin{code} universality-equiv : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (a : A x) β is-universal-element-of A (x , a) β is-fiberwise-equiv (yoneda-nat x A a) universality-equiv {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} x a u = nats-with-sections-are-equivs x (yoneda-nat x A a) (universality-section x a u) equiv-universality : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (a : A x) β is-fiberwise-equiv (yoneda-nat x A a ) β is-universal-element-of A (x , a) equiv-universality x a Ο = section-universality x a (Ξ» y β prβ (Ο y)) Yoneda-Theorem-forth : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β β! A β is-fiberwise-equiv Ξ· Yoneda-Theorem-forth x Ξ· i = nats-with-sections-are-equivs x Ξ· (Yoneda-section-forth x Ξ· i) \end{code} Here is another proof, from the MGS'2019 lecture notes (https://github.com/martinescardo/HoTT-UF.Agda-Lecture-Notes): \begin{code} Yoneda-Theorem-forth' : {X : π€ Μ } (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (x : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β β!

A Yoneda-Theorem-back x Ξ· Ο = Yoneda-section-back x Ξ· (Ξ» y β prβ(Ο y)) \end{code} Egbert Rijke, in his book [1], refers to Yoneda-Theorem-forth and Yoneda-Theorem-back as "the fundamental theorem of identity types". See also his master thesis [2] and his blog post [3]. Next we conclude that a presheaf A is representable iff Ξ£ A is a singleton. \begin{code} _β_ : {X : π€ Μ } β (X β π₯ Μ ) β (X β π¦ Μ ) β π€ β π₯ β π¦ Μ A β B = Ξ£ Ξ· κ Nat A B , is-fiberwise-equiv Ξ· is-representable : {X : π€ Μ } β (X β π₯ Μ ) β π€ β π₯ Μ is-representable A = Ξ£ x κ domain A , Id x β A singleton-representable : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } β β!

A representable-singleton (x , (Ξ· , Ο)) = Yoneda-Theorem-back x Ξ· Ο \end{code} We also have the following corollaries: \begin{code} is-vv-equiv-has-adj' : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (g : Y β X) β is-vv-equiv g β Ξ£ f κ (X β Y) , ((x : X) (y : Y) β (f x οΌ y) β (g y οΌ x)) is-vv-equiv-has-adj' g Ο = prβ Ξ³ , Ξ» x y β prβ (prβ Ξ³) x y , nats-with-sections-are-equivs (prβ Ξ³ x) (prβ (prβ Ξ³) x) (prβ (prβ Ξ³) x) y where Ξ³ : has-adj g Ξ³ = is-vv-equiv-has-adj g Ο has-adj-is-vv-equiv' : {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (g : Y β X) β (Ξ£ f κ (X β Y) , ((x : X) (y : Y) β (f x οΌ y) β (g y οΌ x))) β is-vv-equiv g has-adj-is-vv-equiv' g (f , Ο) = has-adj-is-vv-equiv g (f , (Ξ» x y β prβ (Ο x y)) , (Ξ» x y β prβ (prβ(Ο x y)))) \end{code} Here is an application of the Yoneda machinery to a well-known result by Voevodsky. If products preserve contractibility, then function extensionality holds (happly is an equivalence). \begin{code} funext-via-singletons : ((X : π€ Μ ) (Y : X β π₯ Μ ) β ((x : X) β is-singleton (Y x)) β is-singleton (Ξ Y)) β funext π€ π₯ funext-via-singletons {π€} {π₯} Ο {X} {Y} f = Ξ³ where c : is-singleton (Ξ x κ X , Ξ£ y κ Y x , f x οΌ y) c = Ο X (Ξ» x β Ξ£ y κ Y x , f x οΌ y) (Ξ» x β singleton-types-are-singletons (f x)) A : Ξ Y β π€ β π₯ Μ A g = (x : X) β f x οΌ g x r : (Ξ x κ X , Ξ£ y κ Y x , f x οΌ y) β Ξ£ A r = Ξ Ξ£-distr r-has-section : has-section r r-has-section = equivs-have-sections β Ξ Ξ£-distr-β β β Ξ Ξ£-distr-β β-is-equiv d : β! A d = retract-of-singleton (r , r-has-section) c Ξ· : Nat (Id f) A Ξ· = happly' f Ξ³ : (g : Ξ Y) β is-equiv (happly' f g) Ξ³ = Yoneda-Theorem-forth f Ξ· d \end{code} We also have the following characterization of univalence from the Yoneda machinery. The fact that this is the case was announced on 5th August 2014 with the techniques of the HoTT Book (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/homotopytypetheory/HfCB_b-PNEU/Ibb48LvUMeUJ)), and the proof given here via Yoneda was announced on 12th May 2015 (http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/yoneda/yoneda.html). \begin{code} open import UF.Univalence univalence-via-singletonsβ : is-univalent π€ β (X : π€ Μ ) β β! Y κ π€ Μ , X β Y univalence-via-singletonsβ ua X = representable-singleton (X , (idtoeq X , ua X)) univalence-via-singletonsβ : ((X : π€ Μ ) β β! Y κ π€ Μ , X β Y) β is-univalent π€ univalence-via-singletonsβ Ο X = universality-equiv X (β-refl X) (central-point-is-universal (X β_) (X , β-refl X) (singletons-are-props (Ο X) (X , β-refl X))) univalence-via-singletons : is-univalent π€ β ((X : π€ Μ ) β β!

Appendix. Two natural transformations with the same Yoneda elements are (point-point-wise) equal. This can be proved using J (or equivalently pattern matching), but we use the opportunity to illustrate how to use the Yoneda Lemma. \begin{code} yoneda-elem-lc : {X : π€ Μ } {x : X} {A : X β π₯ Μ } (Ξ· ΞΈ : Nat (Id x) A) β yoneda-elem x A Ξ· οΌ yoneda-elem x A ΞΈ β Ξ· β ΞΈ yoneda-elem-lc {π€} {π₯} {X} {x} {A} Ξ· ΞΈ q y p = Ξ· y p οΌβ¨ (yoneda-lemma x A Ξ· y p)β»ΒΉ β© yoneda-nat x A (yoneda-elem x A Ξ·) y p οΌβ¨ ap (Ξ» - β yoneda-nat x A - y p) q β© yoneda-nat x A (yoneda-elem x A ΞΈ) y p οΌβ¨ yoneda-lemma x A ΞΈ y p β© ΞΈ y p β Yoneda-elem-lc : {X : π€ Μ } {x : X} {A : X β π₯ Μ } (Ξ· ΞΈ : (y : X) β x οΌ y β A y) β Ξ· x refl οΌ ΞΈ x refl β (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β Ξ· y p οΌ ΞΈ y p Yoneda-elem-lc = yoneda-elem-lc \end{code} Some special cases of interest, which probably speak for themselves: \begin{code} yoneda-nat-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) β Id x y β Nat (Id y) (Id x) yoneda-nat-Id x {y} = yoneda-nat y (Id x) Yoneda-nat-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) β x οΌ y β (z : X) β y οΌ z β x οΌ z Yoneda-nat-Id = yoneda-nat-Id Id-charac : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) β (x οΌ y) β Nat (Id y) (Id x) Id-charac fe {X} x {y} = yoneda-equivalence fe y (Id x) yoneda-nat-Eq : (X {Y} : π€ Μ ) β X β Y β Nat (Y οΌ_) (X β_) yoneda-nat-Eq X {Y} = yoneda-nat Y (X β_) yoneda-elem-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) β Nat (Id y) (Id x) β Id x y yoneda-elem-Id x {y} = yoneda-elem y (Id x) Yoneda-elem-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) β ((z : X) β y οΌ z β x οΌ z) β x οΌ y Yoneda-elem-Id = yoneda-elem-Id yoneda-lemma-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) (Ξ· : Nat (Id y) (Id x)) (z : X) (p : y οΌ z) β yoneda-elem-Id x Ξ· β p οΌ Ξ· z p yoneda-lemma-Id x {y} = yoneda-lemma y (Id x) Yoneda-lemma-Id : {X : π€ Μ } (x {y} : X) (Ξ· : (z : X) β y οΌ z β x οΌ z) (z : X) (p : y οΌ z) β Ξ· y refl β p οΌ Ξ· z p Yoneda-lemma-Id = yoneda-lemma-Id yoneda-const : {X : π€ Μ } {B : π₯ Μ } {x : X} (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) (Ξ» _ β B)) (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β yoneda-elem x (Ξ» _ β B) Ξ· οΌ Ξ· y p yoneda-const Ξ· = yoneda-elem-lc (Ξ» y p β yoneda-elem _ _ Ξ·) Ξ· refl Yoneda-const : {X : π€ Μ } {B : π₯ Μ } {x : X} (Ξ· : (y : X) β x οΌ y β B) (y : X) (p : x οΌ y) β Ξ· x refl οΌ Ξ· y p Yoneda-const = yoneda-const \end{code} The following is traditionally proved by induction on the identity type (as articulated by Jbased or J), but here we use the Yoneda machinery instead, again for the sake of illustration. \begin{code} singleton-types-are-singletons-bis : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) β is-central (singleton-type x) (x , refl) singleton-types-are-singletons-bis {π€} {X} x (y , p) = yoneda-const Ξ· y p where Ξ· : (y : X) β x οΌ y β singleton-type x Ξ· y p = (y , p) \end{code} What the following says is that the Yoneda machinery could have been taken as primitive, as an alternative to Jbased or J, in the sense that the latter can be recovered from the former. \begin{code} private Jbased'' : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : singleton-type x β π₯ Μ ) β A (x , refl) β Ξ A Jbased'' x A a w = yoneda-nat (x , refl) A a w (singleton-types-are-singletons' w) Jbased' : {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (B : (y : X) β x οΌ y β π₯ Μ ) β B x refl β (y : X) β Ξ (B y) Jbased' x B b y p = Jbased'' x (uncurry B) b (y , p) \end{code} And now some more uses of Yoneda to prove things that traditionally are proved using J(based), again for the sake of illustration: \begin{code} refl-left-neutral-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y : X} {p : x οΌ y} β refl β p οΌ p refl-left-neutral-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} {p} = yoneda-lemma x (Id x) (Ξ» y β id) y p β»ΒΉ-involutive-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y : X} (p : x οΌ y) β (p β»ΒΉ)β»ΒΉ οΌ p β»ΒΉ-involutive-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} = yoneda-elem-lc (Ξ» x p β (p β»ΒΉ)β»ΒΉ) (Ξ» x p β p) refl y β»ΒΉ-contravariant-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y : X} (p : x οΌ y) {z : X} (q : y οΌ z) β q β»ΒΉ β p β»ΒΉ οΌ (p β q)β»ΒΉ β»ΒΉ-contravariant-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} p {z} = yoneda-elem-lc (Ξ» z q β q β»ΒΉ β p β»ΒΉ) (Ξ» z q β (p β q) β»ΒΉ) refl-left-neutral-bis z \end{code} Associativity also follows from the Yoneda Lemma, again with the same proof method. Notice that we prove that two functions (in a context) are equal without using function extensionality: \begin{code} ext-assoc : {X : π€ Μ } {z t : X} (r : z οΌ t) β (Ξ» (x y : X) (p : x οΌ y) (q : y οΌ z) β (p β q) β r) οΌ (Ξ» (x y : X) (p : x οΌ y) (q : y οΌ z) β p β (q β r)) ext-assoc {π€} {X} {z} {t} = yoneda-elem-lc {π€} {π€} {X} {z} {Ξ» - β (x y : X) (p : x οΌ y) (q : y οΌ z) β x οΌ - } (Ξ» z r x y p q β p β q β r) (Ξ» z r x y p q β p β (q β r)) refl t \end{code} Then of course associativity of path composition follows: \begin{code} assoc-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y z t : X} (p : x οΌ y) (q : y οΌ z) (r : z οΌ t) β (p β q) β r οΌ p β (q β r) assoc-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} p q r = ap (Ξ» - β - x y p q) (ext-assoc r) left-inverse-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y : X} (p : x οΌ y) β p β»ΒΉ β p οΌ refl left-inverse-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} = yoneda-elem-lc (Ξ» x p β p β»ΒΉ β p) (Ξ» x p β refl) refl y right-inverse-bis : {X : π€ Μ } {x y : X} (p : x οΌ y) β refl οΌ p β p β»ΒΉ right-inverse-bis {π€} {X} {x} {y} = yoneda-const (Ξ» x p β p β p β»ΒΉ) y from-Ξ£-Id : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } {(x , a) (y , b) : Ξ£ A} β (x , a) οΌ (y , b) β Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , yoneda-nat x A a y p οΌ b from-Ξ£-Id {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} {x , a} {Ο} = yoneda-nat (x , yoneda-nat x A a x refl) B (refl , refl) Ο where B : (Ο : Ξ£ A) β π€ β π₯ Μ B (y , b) = Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , yoneda-nat x A a y p οΌ b to-Ξ£-Id : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } {(x , a) (y , b) : Ξ£ A} β (Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , yoneda-nat x A a y p οΌ b) β (x , a) οΌ (y , b) to-Ξ£-Id {π€} {π₯} {X} {A} {x , a} {y , b} (p , q) = r where Ξ· : (y : X) β x οΌ y β Ξ£ A Ξ· y p = (y , yoneda-nat x A a y p) yc : (x , a) οΌ (y , yoneda-nat x A a y p) yc = yoneda-const Ξ· y p r : (x , a) οΌ (y , b) r = yoneda-nat (yoneda-nat x A a y p) (Ξ» b β (x , a) οΌ (y , b)) yc b q from-Ξ£-Id' : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } {(x , a) (y , b) : Ξ£ A} β (x , a) οΌ (y , b) β Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , transport A p a οΌ b from-Ξ£-Id' = from-Ξ£-Id to-Ξ£-Id' : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } {Ο Ο : Ξ£ A} {(x , a) (y , b) : Ξ£ A} β Ξ£ p κ x οΌ y , transport A p a οΌ b β (x , a) οΌ (y , b) to-Ξ£-Id' = to-Ξ£-Id NatΞ£-lc' : {X : π€ Μ } {A : X β π₯ Μ } {B : X β π¦ Μ } (ΞΆ : Nat A B) β ((x : X) β left-cancellable(ΞΆ x)) β left-cancellable(NatΞ£ ΞΆ) NatΞ£-lc' {π€} {π₯} {π¦} {X} {A} {B} ΞΆ ΞΆ-lc {(x , a)} {(y , b)} pq = g where p : x οΌ y p = prβ (from-Ξ£-Id pq) Ξ· : Nat (Id x) B Ξ· = yoneda-nat x B (ΞΆ x a) q : Ξ· y p οΌ ΞΆ y b q = prβ (from-Ξ£-Id pq) ΞΈ : Nat (Id x) A ΞΈ = yoneda-nat x A a Ξ·' : Nat (Id x) B Ξ·' y p = ΞΆ y (ΞΈ y p) r : Ξ·' β Ξ· r = yoneda-elem-lc Ξ·' Ξ· refl r' : ΞΆ y (ΞΈ y p) οΌ Ξ· y p r' = r y p s : ΞΆ y (ΞΈ y p) οΌ ΞΆ y b s = r' β q t : ΞΈ y p οΌ b t = ΞΆ-lc y s g : x , a οΌ y , b g = to-Ξ£-Id (p , t) yoneda-equivalence-Ξ£ : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (A : X β π₯ Μ ) β Ξ£ A β (Ξ£ x κ X , Nat (Id x) A) yoneda-equivalence-Ξ£ fe A = Ξ£-cong (Ξ» x β yoneda-equivalence fe x A) nats-are-uniquely-transports : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } (x : X) (A : X β π₯ Μ ) (Ξ· : Nat (Id x) A) β β! a κ A x , (Ξ» y p β transport A p a) οΌ Ξ· nats-are-uniquely-transports fe x A = equivs-are-vv-equivs (yoneda-nat x A) (yoneda-nat-is-equiv fe x A) adj-obs : FunExt β {X : π€ Μ } {Y : π₯ Μ } (f : X β Y) (g : Y β X) (x : X) (Ξ· : (y : Y) β f x οΌ y β g y οΌ x) β β! q κ g (f x) οΌ x , (Ξ» y p β transport (Ξ» - β g - οΌ x) p q) οΌ Ξ· adj-obs fe f g x = nats-are-uniquely-transports fe (f x) (Ξ» y β g y οΌ x) \end{code} We need this elsewhere: \begin{code} idtoeq-bis : (X : π€ Μ ) β Nat (X οΌ_) (X β_) idtoeq-bis X = yoneda-nat X (X β_) (β-refl X) Idtofun' : (X : π€ Μ ) β Nat (Id X) (Ξ» Y β X β Y) Idtofun' X = yoneda-nat X (Ξ» Y β X β Y) id idtofun-agree' : (X : π€ Μ ) β idtofun X β Idtofun' X idtofun-agree' X = yoneda-elem-lc (idtofun X) (Idtofun' X) refl \end{code}
