  2. The example given (propositional truncation) is only correct up to set truncation.

  3. changed ’type’ to ’h-set’ in example

    Why does the example of propositional truncation fail for types which aren’t sets?

    i.e. what is the difference between

    ∏ a:A∏ b:Aa= Ab\prod_{a:A} \prod_{b:A} a =_A b

    and

    ∏ c:A×Aπ 1(c)= Aπ 2(c)\prod_{c:A \times A} \pi_1(c) =_A \pi_2(c)

    It’s not just that the type has to be a set, but that you have to set-truncate the coequalizer to get the propositional truncation. For instance, if A=1A=1 (which is a set) then the coequalizer of the two projections is the circle S 1S^1, which is not the propositional truncation of 11.

  7. Adding the circle type as an example of a coequalizer

  8. There was a section about W-suspensions titled “Higher inductive types generated by graphs” in the article coequalizer type, so I moved the section into its own page at W-suspension.
