Idea

A Kuratowsky finite type is a set X for which there exists a surjection into X from a standard finite type. In other words, the Kuratowsky finite types are the set-quotient of a standard finite type.

is-kuratowsky-finite-set-Prop X =
  ∃-Prop   n  Fin n  type-Set X)

is-kuratowsky-finite-set : {l : Level}  Set l  UU l

𝔽-Kuratowsky l = Σ (Set l) is-kuratowsky-finite-set

module _

  where

  set-𝔽-Kuratowsky = pr1 X

  type-𝔽-Kuratowsky : UU l
  type-𝔽-Kuratowsky = type-Set set-𝔽-Kuratowsky

Properties

A Kuratowsky finite set is finite if and only if it has decidable equality
