Provable(P) ⇒ provable(provable(P))?
(This is really just a comment, but apparently I don't have enough reputation to leave comments yet.)
I think there's some room for more care in the notation. $\Box \phi \implies \Box \Box \phi$ loo …

Categories of logical formulae
Classical propositional logic is basically a boolean algebra, which may be viewed as a poset, which may be viewed as a category. We at the very least need to fix the primitive predicates; then the obj …

About logical axioms of propositional logic.
Which propositional logic are you asking about? Axioms K (your axiom 1) and S (your axiom 2) are admissible for the implicational fragment of intuitionistic propositional logic, but your axiom 3 is no …

What are some interesting hyperdoctrines that are not classical models?
Every hyperdoctrine is "syntactic", in the sense that given any hyperdoctrine you can construct a theory whose syntactic hyperdoctrine is equivalent to the one you start with.
Thus, hyperdoctrines cor …

Non-definable elements vs indiscernible elements
Let $\Sigma$ be a one-sorted first-order signature, let $A$ be a $\Sigma$-structure, and let $B \subseteq A$ be a $\Sigma$-substructure. Fix a class $\mathcal{L}$ of formulae over $\Sigma$. We say an …

Multiplicative group of a ring as a morphism of theories
The functor sending a (not necessarily commutative) ring to its group of units is induced by a morphism of cartesian (= finite limit) theories.
More generally, suppose given (small!) cartesian theorie …

Set-Theoretic Issues/Categories
Since you don't seem to want to leave ZFC, here's a taste of the issues you might face if you try to work with a stratified universe. (Here I mean the ordinary English word ‘stratified’, rather than a …

Are partial elements necessary in boolean-valued models?
It seems to me that there is a difference in the treatment of "partial" elements in boolean-valued models in set theory vs topos theory: in set theory, one usually only considers "global" elements of …

Barr's theorem and constructivity?
In every Grothendieck topos, the following sequent is valid for the natural numbers object $N$,
$$x : N \vdash \bigvee_{n : \mathbb{N}} x = s^n (z)$$
where $\mathbb{N}$ is the set of natural numbers, …

On the large cardinals foundations of categories
Allow me to make some comments as someone who converted to the universeful approach recently; but take it with a pinch of salt, as I have only been studying category theory for 2½ years.
I should bri …

Categorical Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov interpretation
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the language of intuitionistic propositional logic generated by some atomic propositions $t_1, t_2, \ldots$. The Lindenbaum–Tarski algebra of $\mathcal{L}$ can be regarded as a bi …

The independence of path induction
In §1.12 of the Homotopy type theory book, it is mentioned that indiscernibility of identicals is a consequence of path induction. More precisely, for each type $C$ dependent over a type $A$, there is …

When are all greater cardinals sharply greater?
Makkai and Paré introduced the following binary relation on regular cardinals: given $\kappa$ and $\lambda$, $\kappa \vartriangleleft \lambda$ (read, $\kappa$ is sharply less than $\lambda$) when $\k …

If two structures are elementarily equivalent, is there a zigzag of elementary embeddings be...
The Keisler–Shelah theorem implies that the following are equivalent:
$M$ and $N$ are elementarily equivalent.
For some set $X$ and some ultrafilter $U$ on $X$, $M^X / U$ and $N^X / U$ are isomorphi …

What do algebraic theories with strictly terminal trivial models look like?
By algebraic theory I mean one in the sense of Lawvere, i.e. a collection of finitary operations, including projections, together with a multi-composition satisfying the obvious axioms. (I believe uni …
