Local Notation sig_type := sig.

We can generalize the notion of sig to categories. This is, essentially, a type-theoretic perspecitive on the Grothendieck construction.

Section sig_obj_mor.
  Variable A : PreCategory.
  Variable Pobj : A Type.

  Local Notation obj := (sig Pobj).

  Variable Pmor : s d : obj, morphism A s.1 d.1 Type.

  Local Notation mor s d := (sig (Pmor s d)).
  Context `(HPmor : s d, IsHSet (mor s d)).

  Variable Pidentity : x, @Pmor x x (@identity A _).
  Variable Pcompose : s d d' m1 m2,
                        @Pmor d d' m1
                         @Pmor s d m2
                         @Pmor s d' (m1 o m2).

  Local Notation identity x := (@identity A x.1; @Pidentity x).
  Local Notation compose m1 m2 := (m1.1 o m2.1; @Pcompose _ _ _ m1.1 m2.1 m1.2 m2.2)%morphism.

  Hypothesis P_associativity
  : x1 x2 x3 x4 (m1 : mor x1 x2) (m2 : mor x2 x3) (m3 : mor x3 x4),
      compose (compose m3 m2) m1 = compose m3 (compose m2 m1).

  Hypothesis P_left_identity
  : a b (f : mor a b),
      compose (identity b) f = f.

  Hypothesis P_right_identity
  : a b (f : mor a b),
      compose f (identity a) = f.
