235: Yoneda Lemma

/// Yoneda Lemma: Nat(Hom(A,−), F) ≅ F(A)
///
/// In Haskell: `(forall b. (a -> b) -> f b) ≅ f a`
///
/// The key insight: instead of storing `F(A)` directly, we can store a
/// *continuation* that can map any function `a -> b` over it. This defers
/// the mapping, allowing fusion of multiple `fmap` calls.
///
/// ⚠️  Rust limitation: Rust cannot express higher-kinded types (HKT) like
/// `forall f. Functor f => f a`. The Yoneda lemma requires `forall b`,
/// i.e., universally quantifying over the *output* type. We work around this
/// by fixing the functor to `Vec` (i.e., F = Vec). The structure is the same.
///
/// In a language with full HKT (Haskell, OCaml), you would have:
///   `newtype Yoneda f a = Yoneda { runYoneda :: forall b. (a -> b) -> f b }`

/// Yoneda representation of Vec<A>:
/// Instead of holding Vec<A>, holds a closure `for<b> (A->b) -> Vec<b>`.
///
/// We simulate `forall b` using a concrete container that stores the *original*
/// list plus a *composed* mapping function as `Box<dyn Fn(i64) -> String>`, etc.
/// For true genericity we use an erased closure approach with a concrete witness.
///
/// Practical encoding: store the list as Vec<i64> and a deferred map.
/// This is a simplified but correct demonstration of the fusion property.
struct Yoneda<A> {
    /// The deferred structure: run this with any (A->B) to get Vec<B>
    run: Box<dyn Fn(Box<dyn Fn(A) -> A>) -> Vec<A>>,
    /// Stored for the `from_yoneda` case where we need identity
    run_id: Box<dyn Fn() -> Vec<A>>,
}

/// A more practical Yoneda encoding that demonstrates fusion:
/// We store the original data and a chain of composed functions.
/// This is the key operational content of the Yoneda lemma.
