This should be an equivalence, which means that FamilyWedge X
is a coproduct in pType
. Does the Wildcat library have coproducts where the summands are indexed by a type?

I didn't add such coproducts yet, but it should be straightforward.

I think I'll hold off on making this an equivalence for now and perhaps introduce it when we have that result for coproducts.

We don't have to convert the indexing type into a pointed type, it already is a type! Signed-off-by: Ali Caglayan <[email protected]>

We define wedges of families of pTypes.
Interestingly, we have to make some decidability assumptions on the indexing type in order to get the inclusion from wedge to product. This is also true for such colimits in a general pointed category.
I'm not sure if these assumptions are necessary, and in practice most index sets we will choose are decidable.
Once we have free products of abelian groups defined, we should be able to extend the PinSn result to wedges of spheres.
