Types are Internal $\infty$-Groupoids




Abstract: By extending type theory with a universe of definitionally associative and unital polynomial monads, we show how to arrive at a definition of opetopic type which is able to encode a number of fully coherent algebraic structures. In particular, our approach leads to a definition of infty-groupoid internal to type theory and we prove that the type of such infty-groupoids is equivalent to the universe of types. That is, every type admits the structure of an infty-groupoid internally, and this structure is unique.
