Construct the hopf fibration in such a way that the generator of $\mathbb{S}^3$ is sent to a 3-loop in $\mathbb{S}^2$ constructed using Eckmann-Hilton.

A detailed plan for this may be too much to write out in a comment here. But I'll list a few components that will go into this.

Done or currently being worked on:

  • finish dependent universal property of suspensions
  • "Universal Property of Fibers of maps": build up infrastructure for working with the family of fibers of a map f : A --> B as the initial type family equipped with a section (a : A) --> fib_f (f a).
    Open tasks
  • show EH is (more or less) the naturality condition of whiskering a 2-path on the left by a 1-path
  • "Eckmann-Hilton in the universe" idea: show that tr sends EH on identifications to EH on homotopies (almost done, missing a few coherences)

Open:

  • descent for $\mathbb{S}^1$, $\mathbb{S}^2$, $\mathbb{S}^3$
    ----- related to issue Postulating colimits #1122 . This proof works best the the point and n-loop presentation of spheres, which have yet to be postulated.
  • characterizing (higher) homotopies between (homotopies) functions with domain $\mathbb{S}^1$,
  • characterizing homotopies between dependent functions functions with domain $\mathbb{S}^3$.

This pr formalizes most of the "Eckmann-Hilton in the universe" idea,
thus bringing partial completion to one of the task on the issue
"Formalize the Hopf Fibration" ( #702 ).

The main theorem of the pr, named `tr³-htpy-swap-path-swap`, establishes
that `tr³` sends `path-swap` to `htpy-swap`.

This pr does two related things:

(i) it shows that pointed identity types are equivalent to loop spaces. 

this will be useful in the Eckmann-Hilton and Hopf proof (issue #702),
since we can construct an eckmann-hilton term of type $s \cdot s = s
\cdot s$, where `s` is the generator of $\Omega^2 \mathbb{S}^2$`. Then,
using this equivalence, we get a term of type $\Omega^3 \mathbb{S}^2$.
Due to the way the equivalence is defined, we will get many nice
functoriality properties. In particular, the equivalence preserves path
concatination. This will be helpful in the proof. It will also later be
helpful when applying sypllepsis.

(ii) the pr uses the above equivalenecs to replace `unshift` in the file
`universal-property-suspensions-pointed-types`
