Idea

A uniquely eliminating modality is a higher mode of logic defined in terms of a monadic modal operator ○ satisfying a certain locality condition, namely that dependent precomposition by the modal unit unit-○ is an equivalence for type families over types in the image of the operator:

  - ∘ unit-○ : Π (x : ○ X) (○ (P x)) ≃ Π (x : X) (○ (P (unit-○ x)))

Uniquely eliminating modalities are uniquely determined by their modal types

Uniquely eliminating modalities are uniquely determined by their modal types. Equivalently, this can be phrazed as a characterization of the identity type of uniquely eliminating modalities.

Suppose given two uniquely eliminating modalities ○ and ●. They are equal if and only if they have the same modal types.

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level}
  where

  htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality :
    (○ ● : uniquely-eliminating-modality l1 l2) → UU (lsuc l1 ⊔ l2)
  htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○ ● =
    equiv-fam
      ( is-modal (unit-modality-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○))
      ( is-modal (unit-modality-uniquely-eliminating-modality ●))

  refl-htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality :
    (○ : uniquely-eliminating-modality l1 l2) →
    htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○ ○
  refl-htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○ X = id-equiv

  htpy-eq-uniquely-eliminating-modality :
    (○ ● : uniquely-eliminating-modality l1 l2) →
    ○ ＝ ● → htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○ ●
  htpy-eq-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○ .○ refl =
    refl-htpy-uniquely-eliminating-modality ○

It remains to show that htpy-eq-uniquely-eliminating-modality is an equivalence.
