subsection {* Motivation *}
text {*
The logic HOL has no notion of constructor classes, so
it is not possible to model monads the Haskell way
in full genericity in Isabelle/HOL.
However, this theory provides substantial support for
a very common class of monads: \emph{state monads}
(or \emph{single-threaded monads}, since a state
is transformed single-threaded).
To enter from the Haskell world,
\url{http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/haskell_and_monads.htm}
makes a good motivating start. Here we just sketch briefly
how those monads enter the game of Isabelle/HOL.

We classify functions operating on states into two categories:
\begin{description}
\item[transformations]
with type signature @{typ "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>'"},
transforming a state.
\item[``yielding'' transformations]
with type signature @{typ "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> \<times> \<sigma>'"},
``yielding'' a side result while transforming a state.
\item[queries]
with type signature @{typ "\<sigma> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>"},
computing a result dependent on a state.
\end{description}
By convention we write @{typ "\<sigma>"} for types representing states
and @{typ "\<alpha>"}, @{typ "\<beta>"}, @{typ "\<gamma>"}, @{text "\<dots>"}
for types representing side results. Type changes due
to transformations are not excluded in our scenario.
We aim to assert that values of any state type @{typ "\<sigma>"}
are used in a single-threaded way: after application
of a transformation on a value of type @{typ "\<sigma>"}, the
former value should not be used again. To achieve this,
we use a set of monad combinators:

text {*
Given two transformations @{term f} and @{term g}, they
may be directly composed using the @{term "op \<guillemotright>"} combinator,
forming a forward composition: @{prop "(f \<guillemotright> g) s = f (g s)"}.
After any yielding transformation, we bind the side result
immediately using a lambda abstraction. This
is the purpose of the @{term "op \<guillemotright>="} combinator:
@{prop "(f \<guillemotright>= (\<lambda>x. g)) s = (let (x, s') = f s in g s')"}.
For queries, the existing @{term "Let"} is appropriate.
Naturally, a computation may yield a side result by pairing
it to the state from the left; we introduce the
suggestive abbreviation @{term return} for this purpose.
The @{const run} ist just a marker.
The most crucial distinction to Haskell is that we do
not need to introduce distinguished type constructors
for different kinds of state. This has two consequences:
\begin{itemize}
\item The monad model does not state anything about
the kind of state; the model for the state is
completely orthogonal and has to (or may) be
specified completely independent.
\item There is no distinguished type constructor
encapsulating away the state transformation, i.e.~transformations
may be applied directly without using any lifting
or providing and dropping units (``open monad'').
\item The type of states may change due to a transformation.
\end{itemize}
