A Homotopical Model of Univalence

Remark 192.1

Draft status. This chapter is a scaffold.

Opening obstruction

The syntax alone cannot show that univalence is consistent with intensional identity or explain which computation rules the axiomatic principle lacks.

Development contract

Construct the simplicial-set model of the contextual type theory from chapter 191, interpret its dependent type formers and identity types, and build the universe of small Kan fibrations. Under the stated two-inaccessible-cardinal and classical model-structure assumptions, prove that this universe is univalent and derive relative consistency without claiming definitional computation.
