Feb 20, 2022 at 19:50 comment added James E Hanson @AndrejBauer Ingo mentions that there is an intuitionistic proof that the MacNeille reals are uncountable. Is this written down somewhere?
Feb 20, 2022 at 19:09 comment added Andrej Bauer @JamesHanson: If you are referring to my comment, then yes, see this thread for a summary of what is known.
Feb 20, 2022 at 17:23 comment added James E Hanson @AndrejBauer Is this still open?
Dec 1, 2017 at 13:20 comment added Andrej Bauer If you can find a topos in which there is an internal surjection $\mathbb{N} \to [0,1]$ then you will solve the open problem "can there be a topos with an internal surjection $\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}$", and in fact such a topos will be rather amazing. It cannot satisfy countable choice (because countable choice implies there is no surjection $\mathbb{N} \to [0,1]$), so realizability toposes are not going to work. It cannot be a Boolean topos for the same reason. I looked but couldn't find it, nor do I have a proof that it doesn't exist.
