Use the three monad laws of the base computational monad. For left identity, at an arbitrary program state $s$,The last step is the base left identity law. For right identity,The penultimate equality identifies the pair-destructuring function with $r_m$; the last uses the base right identity law.

For associativity, expand the two successive uses of sequencing and apply base associativity:No program state is duplicated or reset during these rearrangements: both sides pass $s$ to $p$, its output $t$ to $f$, and the output $u$ of $f$ to $g$. By function extensionality,

The continuation receives both the computed value and the current computer memory. Therefore return invokes it with unchanged computer memory, while sequencing installs a continuation that passes the produced value and updated computer memory to the next computation:

result :: a -> M a
result x k s = k x s

bind :: M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b
bind p f k s = p (\x s' -> f x k s') s

For left identity, expand the two definitions:For right identity,For associativity, both groupings reduce to the same expression:By function extensionality, these establish all three monad laws:

Use function extensionality: show $f(x)=g(x)$ for every value $x$ of the argument type. In lazy evaluation semantics, “every value” includes the bottom value and partial values. For list arguments, structural induction on lazy lists supplies the empty, bottom and cons cases, with continuity justifying passage to infinite lists.

The original printed equation has the same right fold on both sides, including the same operator and seed; this is visible in the scan.^[ref] Thus its literal answer isFor every input $xs$, both sides denote the very same expression foldr (oplus) e xs; equality follows by reflexivity. This remains true if its value is $\perp$. Neither termination nor associativity nor an identity law is required. The scan does not establish a different intended equation, so no replacement by a left fold is assumed.

For every $x\in \mathbb{R}$, the definition of function composition givesThe functions agree at every argument, so function extensionality proves the associative property of function composition.

Take h = (.):This is its standalone principal type; in the right fold, c specializes to the type of a function from the accumulator to itself.

For fixed f, g and e, prove equality pointwise by structural induction on the list. At [] both sides return e. For x:xs, assume the equality for xs and calculate:The second equality is the induction hypothesis. Function extensionality gives the required equality of composed functions. This is an instance of the right-fold fusion law.

For the full lazy Haskell interpretation, include a bottom value for an undefined list spine: both sides are bottom there. The same constructor argument covers every finite approximation with an undefined tail. The Scott continuity of the list operations then extends equality to their limits, including infinite lists. Ordinary induction on finite total lists alone proves only that restricted case.
