The consistency proof is quite tricky though, even without universes.  Impredicative set is quite brittle, being in particular anti-classical. On a related note, does anyone know of a proof of consistency *with* universes? The only proofs that I know of are Werner's proof of normalization and Altenkirch's Lambda-set model, which afaik haven't been generalized to systems with universes.

Thanks,
Cody

It's consistent. Set with --impredicative-set is like that.

Is it possible to derive [False] from the assumption that you have [T : Prop] with [a b : T] and [a <> b]?  (On the flip side, is it possible to show that it's consistent to assume this?)

Thanks,
Jason
