Idea

A decidable proposition is a proposition that has a decidable underlying type.

Definition

The subtype of decidable propositions

is-decidable-prop : {l : Level}  UU l  UU l
is-decidable-prop A = is-prop A × is-decidable A

is-prop-is-decidable :
  {l : Level} {A : UU l}  is-prop A  is-prop (is-decidable A)
is-prop-is-decidable is-prop-A =
  is-prop-coprod intro-double-negation is-prop-A is-prop-neg

is-decidable-Prop :
  {l : Level}  Prop l  Prop l
pr1 (is-decidable-Prop P) = is-decidable (type-Prop P)
pr2 (is-decidable-Prop P) = is-prop-is-decidable (is-prop-type-Prop P)

is-prop-is-decidable-prop :
  {l : Level} (X : UU l)  is-prop (is-decidable-prop X)
is-prop-is-decidable-prop X =
  is-prop-is-inhabited
    ( λ H 
      is-prop-prod
        ( is-prop-is-prop X)
        ( is-prop-is-decidable (pr1 H)))

Decidable propositions

Decidable-Prop :
  (l : Level)  UU (lsuc l)

module _
  {l : Level} (P : Decidable-Prop l)
  where

The empty type is a decidable proposition

is-decidable-prop-empty : is-decidable-prop empty
pr1 is-decidable-prop-empty = is-prop-empty
pr2 is-decidable-prop-empty = inr id

empty-Decidable-Prop : Decidable-Prop lzero
pr1 empty-Decidable-Prop = empty
pr2 empty-Decidable-Prop = is-decidable-prop-empty

The unit type is a decidable proposition

is-decidable-prop-unit : is-decidable-prop unit
pr1 is-decidable-prop-unit = is-prop-unit
pr2 is-decidable-prop-unit = inl star

unit-Decidable-Prop : Decidable-Prop lzero
pr1 unit-Decidable-Prop = unit
pr2 unit-Decidable-Prop = is-decidable-prop-unit
