[Haskell-cafe] Occult effects...

It is easier to understand it if:
1. You give some examples of such monads
2. Describe how this property arises
3. Tell how whether the law is unique or part of a list of laws applicable

Most of mathematics we do is not entirely disconnected from applications.

If I tell you there is a class of monoids `m` over a set of objects `o` :

class Monoid m => T m o where
  i :: o -> t
  c :: t -> o -> Bool

Such that the following laws are satisfied:

Forall x y z m n.
c (i x) x =True
c mempty x = False
c m y = True => c (m <> n) y = True
c n y = True => c (m <> n) y = True

What does it tell you about the definitions?
Can you tell if this set of laws is correctly stated or exhaustive?
Whether it models what I intend to do?
Without further examples could I claim that it may be universal model for
some phenomena f and g?

Or would you rather see some examples or descriptions of i and c operations?


PS you may respond to haskell-cafe, sure. I did not think that my previous
question deserved sharing, but this answer certainly does.
