Split Epimorphisms and Monomorphisms

split-morphism

CircleCI

Experimental package representing Split Epimorphisms and Split Monomorphisms as presented by Rob Norris (@tpolecat) at Scala eXchange 2018.

Further developement (in Scala) can be found in the Gemini Ocs3 repository.

Non-Injective Optics

Standard 2-way optics deal with invertible mappings. Iso a b says that a and b are equal, so round-trips in either direction are identities. Prism a b says that there is some subset of a that is equal to b.

If we loosen the requirement that types be the same size we get a different kind of mapping, where the large type is squeezed into the small type in one direction or the other. An example is Int ⟺ ByteString by the standard widening/narrowing conversions. Note that the round-trip starting at ByteString is an identity, but the round-up starting at Int is merely idempotent: the first round-trip "normalizes" an Int into ByteString range and thereafter the round-trip is an identity.

This phenomenon is a thing, called a split monomorphism or a split epimorphism depending on which side is bigger. Note that every Iso is trivially a split where the idempotent round-trip happens to be an identity.

When we compose a SplitMono and a SplitEpi end-to-end in either direction we end up with a situation where neither round-trip is necessarily an identity but both are idempotent. I'm calling this a Wedge for lack of a better idea. Splits are trivially wedges where one of the idempotent round-trips happens to be an identity.

A Format is a weaker Prism where a subset of a forms a split epi with b. Every Prism is a Format where the split epi happens to be an Iso; and every SplitEpi forms a Prism where the subset of a is a itself.

               Wedge a b
                 a ? b

                   │                  Format a b
          ┌────────┴────────┐       ∃ a ⊂ a | a > b
          │                 │
                                           │
    SplitMono a b      SplitEpi a b   ─────┤
        a < b             a > b            │

          │                 │         Prism a b
          └────────┬────────┘       ∃ a ⊂ a | a = b
                   │                       │
                                           │
                Iso a b   ─────────────────┘
                 a = b

Examples

It is recommended to have qualified import of the modules, otherwise you might have some issues..

Split Epimorphism

ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitEpi as SE
ghci> import Data.Maybe (fromMaybe)
ghci> import Text.Read (readMaybe)
ghci> let epi = SE.SplitEpi (fromMaybe 0 . readMaybe) show :: SE.SplitEpi String Integer
ghci> SE.reverseGet epi 123
"123"
ghci> SE.get epi "foo"
0
ghci> SE.get epi "87"
87

Split Monomorphism

ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitMono as SM
ghci> let mono = SM.SplitMono toInteger fromInteger :: SM.SplitMono Int Integer
ghci> SM.get mono 1234567890123456789
1234567890123456789
ghci> SM.reverseGet mono 1234567890123456789
1234567890123456789
ghci> SM.reverseGet mono 123456789012345678901234

Format

ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.Format as F
ghci> let format = F.Format (\n -> if n > 0 then Just (n `mod` 2 == 0) else Nothing) (\n -> if n then 2 else 1) :: F.Format Int Bool
ghci> F.getMaybe format 0
Nothing
ghci> F.getMaybe format 1
Just False
ghci> F.getMaybe format 2
Just True
ghci> F.getMaybe format 3

Wedge

ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitEpi as SE
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitMono as SM
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitMorphism as S
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.Wedge as W
ghci> let epi = SE.SplitEpi fromInteger toInteger :: SE.SplitEpi Integer Int
ghci> let mono = SM.SplitMono toInteger fromInteger :: SM.SplitMono Int Integer
ghci> let wedge = epi `S.composeSplitEpiMono` mono :: Wedge Integer Integer
ghci> W.get wedge 123

ghci> W.normalizeB wedge 123
123
ghci> W.normalizeA wedge 123
123

Invariant mapping

All the data types exposed by this library, namely SplitEpi, SplitMono, Format and Wedge, have instances of InvariantFunctor.

SplitEpi

ghci> import Data.Functor.Invariant
ghci> let epi' = invmap (+1) (+2) epi
ghci> Se.reverseGet epi' 123
"125"
ghci> SE.get epi "foo"
1
ghci> SE.get epi' "87"
88

Format

ghci> import Data.Functor.Invariant
ghci> let format' = invmap not not format
ghci> F.reverseGet format' True
1
ghci> F.reverseGet format' False
2

Conversions from Prism and Iso

A Prism can be converted into a Format:

ghci> import Control.Lens
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.Format as F
ghci> import GHC.Natural
ghci> :{
ghci> | nat :: Prism' Integer Natural
ghci> | nat = prism toInteger $ \ i ->
ghci> |    if i < 0
ghci> |    then Left i
ghci> |    else Right (fromInteger i)
ghci> | :}
ghci> let f = F.fromPrism nat :: Format Integer Natural

An Iso can be converted into a Format, SplitEpi, SplitMono or Wedge:

ghci> import Control.Lens
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitEpi as SE
ghci> import qualified Control.Lens.SplitMono as SM
ghci> let nonIso = non 5 :: Iso' (Maybe Int) Int
ghci> let epi = SE.fromIso nonIso :: SplitEpi (Maybe Int) Int
ghci> let mono = SM.fromIso nonIso :: SplitMono (Maybe Int) Int
