Description
While implementing this result in agda-unimath (UniMath/agda-unimath#1343), I came across a few simplifications to the current proof. I'll go in order of the things I'd change, which is coincidentally ascending order of importance.
- Disjointness relies on the Cauchy condition in a way I thought was at least as complex and deserved as much attention as the locatedness condition.
- In the proof of locatedness, you don't need
$5\epsilon$ , you can substitute$4\epsilon$ without any other changes. (Trivial, but power-of-2 multiplication is slightly easier to put together using addition.) - You can substitute
$\theta$ wherever$\theta/2$ is used in the rest of the proof, and$\theta/2$ for$\theta/4$ . - Most importantly, you don't need the locatedness of
yat all, in the part beginning "Now either$y < x_\epsilon + \theta/2$ or$x_\epsilon - \theta/2 < y$ ..." The inequality on the previous line is already all you need; no casework is required.
