In category theory, a **monad** is a structure that encapsulates a way to represent computations or transformations in a categorical context. It is essentially a way to define a certain type of functor that behaves like an "effect" or a context for data, allowing for chaining operations while managing side effects or additional structures in a consistent manner.
