Basic setup and definitions of a homotopy type theory object logic with a cumulative universe hierarchy à la Russell.

  Formalize the typing judgment ‹a: A›.
  For judgmental/definitional equality we use the existing Pure equality ‹≡› and hence do not need to define a separate judgment for it.

axiomatization
  U :: "Ord ⇒ Term"
where
  U_hierarchy: "⋀i j. i < j ⟹ U i: U j"
and
  U_cumulative: "⋀A i j. ⟦A: U i; i ≤ j⟧ ⟹ A: U j"

text "
  The rule ‹U_cumulative› is very unsafe: if used as-is it will usually lead to an infinite rewrite loop!
  To avoid this, it should be instantiated before being applied.
"


section ‹Type families›

text "
  The following abbreviation constrains the output type of a meta lambda expression when given input of certain type.
"

abbreviation (input) constrained :: "[Term ⇒ Term, Term, Term] ⇒ prop"  ("(1_: _ ⟶ _)")
  where "f: A ⟶ B ≡ (⋀x. x : A ⟹ f x: B)"

text "
  The above is used to define type families, which are constrained meta-lambdas ‹P: A ⟶ B› where ‹A› and ‹B› are small types.
"

type_synonym Typefam = "Term ⇒ Term"


section ‹Named theorems›

text "
  Named theorems to be used by proof methods later (see HoTT_Methods.thy).

  ‹wellform› declares necessary wellformedness conditions for type and inhabitation judgments, while ‹comp› declares computation rules, which are usually passed to invocations of the method ‹subst› to perform equational rewriting.
