Oct 9, 2021 at 7:57 comment added Hanul Jeon It justifies the existence of function sets, which is usually proven under the axiom of power set. Unfortunately, I do not know any other use of this axiom except for the justification for the existence of Dedekind reals. I believe (and Aczel intended) the type-theoretic interpretation fortifies constructive (and predicative) manner of $\mathsf{CZF}$.
Oct 9, 2021 at 5:59 comment added ToucanIan @HanulJeon So what does this axiom do for a constructive mathematician? How does this in anyway replace the power set axiom?
Oct 9, 2021 at 5:37 comment added Hanul Jeon If I understand your question correctly (that is, a way to extract information about $c$ from $a$, $b$, and the multivalued function), the answer would be: extracting information is seemingly unlikely.
Oct 9, 2021 at 3:43 comment added ToucanIan I will check out this type theoretic interpretation.
Oct 9, 2021 at 3:43 comment added ToucanIan @HanulJeon how does one get any information about subsets out of this notion of multivalued functions?
Oct 9, 2021 at 3:09 comment added Hanul Jeon You may convince yourself by examining how to interpret Subset Collection under Aczel's type-theoretic interpretation of $\mathsf{CZF}$ (and, in fact, it is the focal motivation for Constructive ZF.)
Oct 9, 2021 at 3:05 comment added Hanul Jeon Then we may state Subset Collection as follows: for a given definable collection of multi-valued functions $\{R_u: a\rightrightarrows b\}$ parametrized by $u\in V$, we can find a set $c$ such that $c$ contains every "image" of $a$ under $R_u$. Honestly, however, neither Subset Collection nor Fullness is handy for me.
Oct 9, 2021 at 3:02 comment added Hanul Jeon One way to put syntactic sugar to Subset Collection is to use the notion of multi-valued function (a relation $R\subseteq A\times B$ for classes $A$ and $B$ is a multi-valued function from $A$ to $B$ means for each $a\in A$ there is (not necessarily unique) $b\in B$ such that $(a,b)\in R$.) I prefer to denote it as $R:A\rightrightarrows B$.
