    started bracket type, just for completeness, but don’t really have time for it

    had the chance to add a bit more to bracket type: now there is an Idea-section a Semantics-section.

    I have also added links to bracket type to relevant entries, in particular to types and logic - table.

    Experts please check. I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about here, but I may not be using language in the standard way.

    I am somewhat surprised that the idea of “bracket types” is not already in the original articles on propositions as types. I had thought that taking bracket types is implicitly understood all along.

    Thanks! I edited bracket type a bit. Bracket types were actually already referred to at propositions as types, only not by that name -- in the final paragraph of the Idea section under the phrase "propositions as some types". I added extra clarification there as well.

    I have added to bracket type a brief section Definition in homotopy type theory with the definition of supp(A)supp(A).

    Also added four references on this. I see in Mike’s lectures the construction is attributed to Lumsdaine. However in the recent post by Brunerie, it seems to be attributed to Voevodsky. I don’t know. The entry currently does not cite Lumsdaine yet, but probably it should.

    Voevodsky defined it, as Guillaume said, “using impredicative quantification and resizing rules” (and also univalence). I believe his definition simply mimics the classical proof that a (1-)topos is a regular category — univalence plus a resizing rule is just the way that you get a subobject classifier in HoTT.

    The definition as an HIT is what is due to Peter Lumsdaine.

    I added the recursion principle for supp(A)supp(A). I also added to the notations for the bracket type. We’re up to 6 now.
