"squashed sums" and their searchability 13 Dec 2012, and other
things in January 2013.

The following module investigates the notion of omniscience set. A
set X is omniscient iff

∀(p : X → ₂) → (∃ \(x : X) → p x ≡ ₀) ∨ (∀(x : X) → p x ≡ ₁)

\begin{code}

open import Omniscience

\end{code}

The omniscience of ℕ is a taboo, known as LPO. See also:

\begin{code}

open import WLPO

\end{code}

An example of an omniscient set is ℕ∞, which intuitively is
ℕ ∪ { ∞ }, defined in the following module:

\begin{code}

open import GenericConvergentSequence

\end{code}

But it is more direct to show that ℕ∞ is searchable, and get
omniscience as a corollary:

\begin{code}

open import Searchable
open import ConvergentSequenceSearchable

\end{code}

An interesting consequence of the omniscience of ℕ∞ is that the
following property, an instance of WLPO, holds constructively:

∀(p : ℕ∞ → ₂) → (∀(n : ℕ) → p(under n) ≡ ₁)
∨ ¬(∀(n : ℕ) → p(under n) ≡ ₁).

\begin{code}

\end{code}

Given countably many searchable sets, one can take the disjoint sum
with a limit point at infinity, and this is again a searchable
sets. This construction is called the squashed sum of the countable
family searchable sets. It can be transfinitely iterated to produce
increasingly complex searchable ordinals.

\begin{code}

open import SquashedSum
open import SearchableOrdinals
open import LexicographicSearch

\end{code}

As a side remark, the following module characterizes ℕ∞ as the
final coalgebra of the functor 1+(-), and is followed by an
illustrative example:

\begin{code}

open import CoNaturals
open import CoNaturalsExercise

\end{code}

The following module discusses in what sense ℕ∞ is the generic
convergent sequence, and proves that the universe Set is
indiscrete, with a certain Rice's Theorem for the universe Set as
a corollary:

\begin{code}

open import TheTopologyOfTheUniverse
open import RicesTheoremForTheUniverse

\end{code}

The following two rogue modules depart from our main philosophy of
working strictly within ML type theory with the propositional
axiom of extensionality. They disable the termination checker, for
the reasons explained in the first module. But to make our point,
we also include runnable experiments in the second module:

\begin{code}

open import CountableTychonoff
open import CantorSearchable

\end{code}

The first one shows that a basic form of discontinuity is a
taboo. This, in fact, is used to formulate and prove Rice's
Theorem mentioned above:

\begin{code}

open import BasicDiscontinuityTaboo

\end{code}

The following modules contain auxiliary definitions and additional
results and discussion that we choose not to discuss here:

\begin{code}

open import Cantor
open import CurryHoward
open import DecidableAndDetachable
open import DiscreteAndSeparated
open import Equality
open import Exhaustible
open import Extensionality
open import FailureOfTotalSeparatedness
open import FailureOfTotalSeparatednessBis

open import HSets
open import Injection
open import Isomorphism
