open Coverage J using (Membership-covers ; Sem-covers)The category of sheaves on a small site is a topos, which means that — in addition to finite limits and exponential objects — it has a subobject classifier, a sheaf which plays the role of the “universe of propositions”. We can construct the sheaf explicitly, as the sheaf of sieves.
A sieve is if it contains every morphism it covers. This notion is evidently closed under pullback, so the closed sieves form a presheaf on

ΩJ .snd = from-is-separated sep mk whereIt appears that we don’t know much about how and behave outside of their agreement on but knowing that they’re closed will be enough to show that they agree everywhere. First, let’s codify that they actually agree on their intersection with

(λ (h∈T , h∈R) → cS h (subst (J ∋_) (ap fst (sym (α h h∈R))) (max (T .closed h∈T id))) , h∈R)Then, assuming w.l.o.g. that we know that the pullback is a covering sieve. And since is a subsieve of we conclude that if then is and since is closed, this implies also that

rem₂' h∈S = incl (λ _ → fst) (subst (J ∋_) (ap (pullback h) rem₁) (rem₂ h∈S))We omit the symmetric converse for brevity.

To show that is the subobject classifier in we’ll start by showing that a subpresheaf of a sheaf is a sheaf precisely when the associated natural transformation into the presheaf of sieves on is valued in closed sieves.
First, suppose that the domain of is indeed a sheaf, and note that since the inclusion is a right adjoint, any subobject in is also a subobject in Since subobjects in are componentwise embeddings, the same is thus true of a subobject in

emb : ∀ {i} → is-embedding (A' .map .η i)
emb = is-monic→is-embedding-at ℓ C (sub' .monic)
nm' : A .fst => Sieves {C = C}
nm' = psh-name sub'We can then compute, in the name of resulting in a natural transformation It remains to show that this transformation is actually valued in i.e. that each of the resulting sieves is closed. To this end, suppose we have some and that the sieve is We must show that contains
By the definition of it suffices to exhibit a fibre of over and since is a sheaf, we can construct this fibre by gluing over the sieve At each we are given some fibre of over but since is an embedding everywhere, we can extract an actual element of from this mere fibre. By the usual functoriality work, this extends to a patch over

nm .is-natural x y f = funext λ a → Σ-prop-path! (happly (nm' .is-natural x y f) a)This “if” direction turns out to be sufficient to prove that is a subobject classifier. First, the maximal sieve is obviously closed, because it contains every morphism:
Sh[]-true : Subobject (Sheaves J ℓ) ΩJ
Sh[]-true .domain = Terminal.top (Sh[]-terminal J)
Sh[]-true .map .η _ _ = maximal' , (λ _ _ → tt)
Sh[]-true .map .is-natural x y f = trivial!
Sh[]-true .monic g h x = trivial!Now the universal property follows essentially by arguing in Since the proofs boil down to shuffling whether a given square is a pullback in or in we do not comment on them further.

Sh[]-omega = record { generic = Sh[]-true-is-generic }Finally, we can show the converse direction to the result we claimed in the start of this section: a subpresheaf with name valued in sieves is itself a sheaf. First, we show that it is separated, because it embeds into a sheaf:
name-is-closed→is-sheaf
: {A : Sheaf J _} (A' : Subobject (PSh ℓ C) (A .fst))
→ (∀ {U : ⌞ C ⌟} (x : A ʻ U) → is-closed (psh-name A' .η U x))

A .fst ⟪ f ⟫ A' .map .η _ x ∎Now, given a sieve of some object and a patch along over we must put together a section in First, we lift to a patch of the sheaf, over the same sieve; and this glues to a section
module _ {U} (j : J .covers U) (p : Patch (A' .domain) (J .cover j)) where
p' : Patch (A .fst) (J .cover j)
p' = record
{ part = λ {V} f hf → A' .map .η V (p .part f hf)
; patch = λ {V} {W} f hf g hgf → sym (A' .map .is-natural _ _ _ $ₚ _) ∙ ap (A' .map .η _) (p .patch f hf g hgf)
}
s' : Section (A .fst) p'
s' = is-sheaf.split (A .snd) p'We must show that actually comes from a section This follows from having a closed name: by definition, this means that if we can show that is a sieve, then the fibre of over is contractible. To show this, it suffices to show that pulls back to a locally at every in some other sieve — we choose the we were already working against. Then we’re left with a simple computation:
