Equalities induce natural isomorphisms

An equality between functors F and G gives rise to a natural isomorphism between them. This is because, by the J-rule, it is enough to construct a natural isomorphism given refl : F ＝ F, from F to itself. We take the identity natural transformation as such an isomorphism.

Propositions

Being a natural isomorphism is a proposition

That a natural transformation is a natural isomorphism is a proposition. This follows from the fact that being an isomorphism is a proposition.

When the type of natural transformations is a proposition, the type of natural isomorphisms is a proposition

The type of natural isomorphisms between functors F and G is a subtype of natural-transformation F G, so when this type is a proposition, then the type of natural isomorphisms from F to G form a proposition.
