[HoTT] Homotopy type of simply connected spaces.

The type of a simply connected space would seem to make it just a set as 
any two paths with the same endpoints would be homotopic. I see that there 
would not be a continuous function from the space of pairs of paths to 
homotopies between them. What would the type of a simply connected space 
look like? Can I say in type theory any two equalities are equal without 
having a function?

Yes, you have to truncate the equality.  See section 7.5 of the HoTT
Book, and also Exercise 7.6.

Thanks for the references. So am I allowed to say a type is simply 
connected if any two paths are equal, or is that a meta statement which has 
no meaning within type theory.

Using the language of the hott book, a type is simply connected if there
*merely exists* a homotopy between any two paths.
