Definition Type1 := Type : Type2.
(** Assumption of a retract from Type into Prop *)
Variable down : Type1 -> Prop.
Variable up : Prop -> Type1.
Hypothesis back : forall A, up (down A) -> A.
Hypothesis forth : forall A, A -> up (down A).
Hypothesis backforth : forall (A:Type) (P:A->Type) (a:A),
P (back A (forth A a)) -> P a.
Hypothesis backforth_r : forall (A:Type) (P:A->Type) (a:A),
P a -> P (back A (forth A a)).
(** Proof *)
Definition V : Type1 := forall A:Prop, ((up A -> Prop) -> up A -> Prop) -> up A -> Prop.
