in the base case of a w type, you have a function with a type like 0.{} → (x:A) ⊲ B.

obviously it is something equivalent to λ(). there are no other options
agda (e.g.) needs a postulate like {f g : ⊥ → A} → f ≡ g
xtt can see it propositionally
being able to see it judgmentally would make writing base cases much less annoying though
