lowerCoyoneda :: Functor f => Coyoneda f a -> f a Source #
Yoneda reduction lets us walk under the existential and apply fmap
.
Mnemonically, "Yoneda reduction" sounds like and works a bit like β-reduction.

You can view Coyoneda
as just the arguments to fmap
tupled up.

hoistCoyoneda :: (forall a. f a -> g a) -> Coyoneda f b -> Coyoneda g b Source #
Lift a natural transformation from f
to g
to a natural transformation
from Coyoneda f
to Coyoneda g
.
as a Left Kan extension
coyonedaToLan :: Coyoneda f a -> Lan Identity f a Source #
Coyoneda f
is the left Kan extension of f
along the Identity
functor.
Coyoneda f
is always a functor, even if f
is not. In this case, it
is called the free functor over f
. Note the following categorical fine
print: If f
is not a functor, Coyoneda f
is actually not the left Kan
extension of f
along the Identity
functor, but along the inclusion
functor from the discrete subcategory of Hask which contains only identity
functions as morphisms to the full category Hask. (This is because f
,
not being a proper functor, can only be interpreted as a categorical functor
by restricting the source category to only contain identities.)
