# The free monad

type Free f = FreeT f Identity #

The "free monad" for a functor `f`.

free :: FreeF f a (Free f a) -> Free f a #

Pushes a layer into a free monad value.

runFree :: Free f a -> FreeF f a (Free f a) #

Evaluates the first layer out of a free monad value.

# Operations

liftF :: (Functor f, MonadFree f m) => f a -> m a #

A version of lift that can be used with just a Functor for f.

iterT :: (Functor f, Monad m) => (f (m a) -> m a) -> FreeT f m a -> m a #

Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration.

iterTM :: (Functor f, Monad m, MonadTrans t, Monad (t m)) => (f (t m a) -> t m a) -> FreeT f m a -> t m a #

Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration over a transformer.

hoistFreeT :: (Monad m, Functor f) => (forall a. m a -> n a) -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT f n b #

Lift a monad homomorphism from `m` to `n` into a monad homomorphism from ``FreeT` f m` to ``FreeT` f n`

    hoistFreeT :: (Monad m, Functor f) => (m ~> n) -> FreeT f m ~> FreeT f n

foldFreeT :: (MonadTrans t, Monad (t m), Monad m) => (forall n x. Monad n => f x -> t n x) -> FreeT f m a -> t m a #

The very definition of a free monad transformer is that given a natural transformation you get a monad transformer homomorphism.

transFreeT :: (Monad m, Functor g) => (forall a. f a -> g a) -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT g m b #

Lift a natural transformation from `f` to `g` into a monad homomorphism from ``FreeT` f m` to ``FreeT` g m`

joinFreeT :: (Monad m, Traversable f) => FreeT f m a -> m (Free f a) #

Pull out and join `m` layers of ``FreeT` f m a`.

cutoff :: (Functor f, Monad m) => Integer -> FreeT f m a -> FreeT f m (Maybe a) #

Cuts off a tree of computations at a given depth. If the depth is `0` or less, no computation nor monadic effects will take place.

Some examples (`n ≥ 0`):

    cutoff 0     _        ≡ return Nothing
    cutoff (n+1) . return ≡ return . Just
    cutoff (n+1) . lift   ≡ lift . liftM Just
    cutoff (n+1) . wrap   ≡ wrap . fmap (cutoff n)

Calling ``retract` `.` `cutoff` n` is always terminating, provided each of the steps in the iteration is terminating.

partialIterT :: Monad m => Integer -> (forall a. f a -> m a) -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT f m b #

`partialIterT n phi m` interprets first `n` layers of `m` using `phi`. This is sort of the opposite for ``cutoff``.

Some examples (`n ≥ 0`):

    partialIterT 0 _ m              ≡ m
    partialIterT (n+1) phi . return ≡ return
    partialIterT (n+1) phi . lift   ≡ lift
    partialIterT (n+1) phi . wrap   ≡ join . lift . phi

intersperseT :: (Monad m, Functor f) => f a -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT f m b #

`intersperseT f m` inserts a layer `f` between every two layers in `m`.

    intersperseT f . return ≡ return
    intersperseT f . lift   ≡ lift
    intersperseT f . wrap   ≡ wrap . fmap (iterTM (wrap . (<$ f) . wrap))

intercalateT :: (Monad m, MonadTrans t, Monad (t m)) => t m a -> FreeT (t m) m b -> t m b #

`intercalateT f m` inserts a layer `f` between every two layers in `m` and then retracts the result.

    intercalateT f ≡ retractT . intersperseT f

retractT :: (MonadTrans t, Monad (t m), Monad m) => FreeT (t m) m a -> t m a #

Tear down a free monad transformer using Monad instance for `t m`.

# Operations of free monad

retract :: Monad f => Free f a -> f a #

`retract` is the left inverse of `liftF`

    retract . liftF = id

iter :: Functor f => (f a -> a) -> Free f a -> a #

Tear down a `Free` `Monad` using iteration.

iterM :: (Functor f, Monad m) => (f (m a) -> m a) -> Free f a -> m a #

Like `iter` for monadic values.

# Free Monads With Class

class Monad m => MonadFree f m | m -> f where #

Monads provide substitution (`fmap`) and renormalization (`join`):

    m >>= f = join (fmap f m)

A free `Monad` is one that does no work during the normalization step beyond simply grafting the two monadic values together.

`[]` is not a free `Monad` (in this sense) because ``join` [[a]]` smashes the lists flat.

On the other hand, consider:

    data Tree a = Bin (Tree a) (Tree a) | Tip a

    instance Monad Tree where
      return = Tip
      Tip a >>= f = f a
      Bin l r >>= f = Bin (l >>= f) (r >>= f)

This `Monad` is the free `Monad` of Pair:

    data Pair a = Pair a a

And we could make an instance of `MonadFree` for it directly:

    instance MonadFree Pair Tree where
       wrap (Pair l r) = Bin l r

Or we could choose to program with ``Free` Pair` instead of `Tree` and thereby avoid having to define our own `Monad` instance.

Moreover, Control.Monad.Free.Church provides a `MonadFree` instance that can improve the asymptotic complexity of code that constructs free monads by effectively reassociating the use of (`>>=`). You may also want to take a look at the `kan-extensions` package (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/kan-extensions).

See `Free` for a more formal definition of the free `Monad` for a `Functor`.
