Abstract

We introduce a new way of formalizing the intensional identity type based on the fact that a entity known as computational paths can be interpreted as terms of the identity type. Our approach enjoys the fact that our elimination rule is easy to understand and use. We make this point clear constructing terms of some relevant types using our proposed elimination rule. We also show that the identity type, as dened by our approach, induces a groupoid structure. This result is on par with the fact that the traditional identity type induces a groupoid, as exposed by Hofmann & Streicher (1994).
