% Theories and proofs: relational and functional choice facts
% based on Axiom of Choice
%
% Author: Dragan Stosic
%
% Short description:
%
% Axiom of Choice, represent a statement in the language of set theory
% that makes it possible to form sets by choosing an element
% simultaneously from each member of an infinite collection of sets even
% when no algorithm exists for the selection. The axiom of choice has
% many mathematically equivalent formulations, some of which were not
% immediately realized to be equivalent.
%
% In this work I investigate the relations between the following choice
% and description principles:
%
% rel_choice - Relational form of the (non extensional) axiom of choice
% (a "set-theoretic" axiom of choice). Relational choice can be used to
% extract from a relation a sub-relation that describes a function, by
% mapping every argument to a unique image.
%
% fun_choice - Functional form of the (non extensional) axiom of choice
% (a "type-theoretic" axiom of choice). This result can be used to
% build a function from a relation that maps every input to at least one
% output.
%
% rel_unique_choice - Unique relational form of the (non extensional)
% axiom of choice (a "set-theoretic" axiom of choice)
%
% conditional_relational_choice - Conditional relational form of the
% (non extensional) axiom of choice.
%
% parametric_definite_description - Functional Relation Reification
% (known as Axiom of Unique Choice in topos theory; also called
% principle of definite description.
%
% proof_irrelevance - as an identification treatment of all proofs of
% the same proposition such that all proofs of the same proposition are
% equal.
%
% Motivation and goal:
%
% In the PVS verification system ( based on classical logic ) I showed
% that the functional formulation of the Axiom of Choice (usual
% formulation in type theory) is equivalent to its relational
% formulation (only formulation of set theory) plus parametric definite
% description (aka Axiom of Unique Choice, or, Functional Relation
% Reification ). This shows that the axiom of choice can be assumed
% (under its relational formulation) without known inconsistency with
% classical logic, though parametric definite description conflicts with
% classical logic.
