category_theory.category.PartialFun

The category of types with partial functions #

This defines PartialFun, the category of types equipped with partial functions.

This category is classically equivalent to the category of pointed types. The reason it doesn't hold constructively stems from the difference between part and option. Both can model partial functions, but the latter forces a decidable domain.

Precisely, PartialFun_to_Pointed turns a partial function α →. β into a function option α → option β by sending to none the undefined values (and none to none). But being defined is (generally) undecidable while being sent to none is decidable. So it can't be constructive.

theorem Pointed_to_PartialFun_map (X Y : Pointed) (f : X Y) (ᾰ : {x // x X.point}) :

The functor which deletes the point of a pointed type. In return, this makes the maps partial. This the computable part of the equivalence PartialFun_equiv_Pointed.

Equations

The functor which maps undefined values to a new point. This makes the maps total and creates pointed types. This the noncomputable part of the equivalence PartialFun_equiv_Pointed. It can't be computable because = option.none is decidable while the domain of a general part isn't.

Forgetting that maps are total and making them total again by adding a point is the same as just adding a point.
