This concept should not be confused with the idea of _universes_ from the metatheory of CIC and related languages, which we will study in more detail in the next chapter. Rather, the idea of universe types is to define inductive types that provide _syntactic representations_ of Coq types. We cannot directly write CIC programs that do case analysis on types, but we _can_ case analyze on reified syntactic versions of those types. Thus, to begin, we must define a syntactic representation of some class of datatypes. In this chapter, our running example will have to do with basic algebraic datatypes, of the kind found in ML and Haskell, but without additional bells and whistles like type parameters and mutually recursive definitions. @@ -138,7 +138,7 @@ Definition size T dt (fx : fixDenote T dt) : T -> nat := fx nat (hmake (B := constructorDenote nat) (fun _ _ r => foldr plus 1 r) dt). -(** Our definition is parameterized over a recursion scheme [fx].
