You'll need to capture the functions as serializable data while it is being
constructed.

I am not sure of a good way to do this, but I think tangible values [1] and
the associated DeepArrow features developed by Conal Elliott might provide a
decent basis. These are based around the notions of representing functions
and how they work internally, and composing them dynamically.
