Comonad

Dual to Monad; provides neighborhood operations (coreturn, cojoin) useful for spatial image transformations.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

framework

Image Type
implements
Exemplary domain-specific type in denotational design; denotation as location-to-color function (Loc → Color).

concept

Image
implements
A functional type representing a mapping from 2D locations to colors (or other values), used for resolution-independent image synthesis.

Primary worked example demonstrating denotational design principles

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Comonad gives us neighborhood operations for images.claim0.785
