(** To define the type of natural numbers, we introduce an extra universe Typ0 *below* the universe Typ1 (so that we are now working in the PTS lambda-omega.3).  Another possibility would be to consider an axiomatized type of natural numbers (as in the author's LICS submission). *)

(** ** Definition of natural numbers **)
(** Notice that the following definition is *predicative*, and the dependent product ranging over all X:Typ0 builds a type in the next universe Typ1.  In practice, this "predicativisation" of the type of natural numbers induces some minor changes in the implementation of the predecessor function. *)
Definition nat : Typ1 := forall X : Typ0, X -> (X -> X) -> X.

(** ** The predecessor function **)
(** For any type X : Typ0, we define the pseudo-square (sqr X) : Typ0 and the constructor (pair X) : X->X->(sqr X) by setting: *)
Definition sqr (X : Typ0) : Typ0 := (X -> X -> X) -> X.

Definition fst (X : Typ0) (p : sqr X) : X := p (fun x _ => x).
Definition snd (X : Typ0) (p : sqr X) : X := p (fun _ y => y).
(** enjoy the expected definitional equalities:  (fst X (pair X x y)) = x   and   (snd X (pair X x y)) = y. *)
(** Now, consider an arbitrary function f : X->X.  From this function, we define a function  (step X f) : (sqr X)->(sqr X)  that maps the pair (x, y) to the pair (y, (f y)) by setting: *)
Definition step (X : Typ0) (f : X -> X) (p : sqr X) :
sqr X := pair X (snd X p) (f (snd X p)).
(** If we iterate the function (step X f) from an arbitrary pair of the form (x, x), we obtain  (step X f)^0 (x, x) = (x, x) (step X f)^1 (x, x) = (x, (f x)) (step X f)^2 (x, x) = ((f x), (f (f x)) ... (step X f)^n (x, x) = ((f ... (f x) ...), (f ...

This is how the predecessor function is implemented: *)
