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’ve updated the comment.
I ventilated the issues around contractibility of also a bit at subobject classifier.
