The Univalent Foundations is a proposed foundation for mathematics in which the basic objects are spaces, rather than sets. I will introduce the basic ideas of the Univalent Foundations, explain how they are implemented in a computer using a formal system called UniMath, and discuss certain combinatorial problems that arise in this context that might be of interest to experimentalists.
