Functional programming - Functors - Some more intuition

Excellent submission.

RE: Your Post

I like to think of the invisible mechanics within the "black box" in between the lambda and the output is akin to the superposition space in quantum physics, or the universe of probabilities in between the Hadamard and output in QCL; that is, it is infinite, "it is what it is", and it JUST WORKS!

Trying to open that black box screws everything up, nullifies the experiment (or function), and effectively negates the whole process.

Why?

Because if you look into the box, the observation changes the result; it forces all the infinite possibilities to collapse into a single result (a la Schrödinger's cat).

Thanks for the cool analogy.

Namaste, Jaichai
