Abstract

We introduce the notion of effectoid as a way of axiomatising the notion of "computational effect". Guided by classical algebra, we define several effectoids equationally and explore their relationship with each other. We demonstrate their computational relevance by applying them to global exceptions, partiality, continuations, and global state.
