prediction:if-a-semantic-function-is-a-homomorphism-with-respect-to-a-type-class-the-implemented-instance-automatically-satisfies-the-class-lawsIf a semantic function is a homomorphism with respect to a type class, the implemented instance automatically satisfies the class laws.
Core hypothesis enabling 'laws for free': denotational semantics guarantee algebraic law satisfaction.

Claims (1)
claim
- Elliott's core principle: type class instance definitions should mirror the semantic meaning to avoid abstraction leaks.
Concepts (1)
concept
- Laws for FreesupportsConsequence of semantic type class morphism: type class laws hold automatically from denotational specification without manual proof.
