Topic: UIP in Lean source code


Chris Henson (Aug 04 2024 at 20:59):

I've seen mentioned before that Lean has UIP as an "axiom" (quotes because I'm not sure if it literally uses axiom). I searched for a bit and couldn't find it, could someone point me to where in the source code that is? Thanks!

It's integrated into the implementation of type checking through the fact that you can proof two proofs of the same proposition are the same by rfl. There is no explicit axiom.
