    I added a note to the article on the subobject classifier: “In type theory, the type corresponding to the subobject classifier is typically called Prop.”

    I am not sure whether that’s very helpful. It’s not provable in type theory that it is. Even in HoTT, hProp is only a large SOC.

    If there is a type corresponding the subobject classifier, then it’s usually called Prop, and the type called Prop becomes a subobject classifier if we add a resizing axiom, so they are closely related and I think the connection is helpful to point out. But we could I guess be a bit more precise.

    In Coq, we miss the axiom of description and extensionality for Prop. In HoTT, it’s called hProp, as you know.

    Yes, right, there’s more missing. But there’s still a close connection. (It’s called hProp in HoTT/Coq because “Prop” is taken by Coq, but in the HoTT Book we call it just Prop.)

    I ventilated the issues around contractibility of Ω\Omega also a bit at subobject classifier.

  9. Made some grammatical/style fixes to sentence describing the power of subobject classifier in topos theory.

    touched the formatting, and moved the remark on subobject classifiers in presheaf toposes from being a standalone subsection after the example of GG-sets to being a remark after the example that it actually refers to
