I think these results are still in premature form. You need to think more about this. I am not sure the propositional versions are interesting.

Should this really be called System F resizing? Is this the same form of impredicativity as in CoC?

In any case, if we agree that this is the same as in System F, it probably should be called System F impredicativity, I think.

We now prove that propositional System F resizing implies ꪪ-resizing. |

You already said this in line 97.

This is because propositional resizing implies that, which we already know.

If you choose A
to be a proposition and P
to be constantly true
, then (Ɐ x ꞉ A , P x) holds
is A x 1
which is equivalent to A. Therefore, combining this with the statement in lines 88-89, we get that Propositional-System-F-Resizing
is the same thing as propositional resizing.

If you choose
A
to be a proposition andP
to be constantlytrue
, then(Ɐ x ꞉ A , P x) holds
isA x 1
That would be A ⇒ 𝟙
, which is just 𝟙
, and not A × 𝟙
.
In fact, this would mean that System-F-Resizing
implies propositional-resizing
, which cannot be the case since the former is validated and the latter is refuted in the cubical assemblies model. I learned this from @slspeight.
So I think Propositional-System-F-Resizing
is actually a sensible thing to consider.

Again consider A
a proposition and B x = 1
to conclude that this is equivalent to propositional resizing.

Right, this one is equivalent to propositional resizing.
This PR adds a new module in which I summarize various discussions with @slspeight. Here is a short list of things contributed in the module:
ꪪ
-resizing from𝓤₁
to𝓤₀
.Σ
-resizing which immediately gives𝓤₀
is𝓤₀
small.∃
-resizing, which is consistent because it is implied by propositional resizing.
