You can use 'reduce' to build 'flatMap'. You can use 'flatMap' to build 'map' and 'filter'. What's one step back from 'reduce'?

I'm trying to grok this and not quite succeeding. I think that stepped either too far back or a level up.

Say you want to model (*2). Well, you could say that’s an unfold: (input -> [input, input]) composed with a fold: (+).

Ah, I see, and reduce is just fold. I was kind of taking "the input is a sequence" as a given.
