State monads are used extensively in the seL4 specification. They are
defined below.

section "The Monad"
text ‹
The basic type of the nondeterministic state monad with failure is
very similar to the normal state monad. Instead of a pair consisting
of result and new state, we return a set of these pairs coupled with
a failure flag. Each element in the set is a potential result of the
computation. The flag is @{const True} if there is an execution path
in the computation that may have failed. Conversely, if the flag is
@{const False}, none of the computations resulting in the returned
set can have failed.›

The definition of fundamental monad functions ‹return› and
‹bind›. The monad function ‹return x› does not change
the state, does not fail, and returns ‹x›.

return :: "'a ⇒ ('s,'a) nondet_monad" where
"return a ≡ λs. ({(a,s)},False)"
text ‹
The monad function ‹bind f g›, also written ‹f >>= g›,
is the execution of @{term f} followed by the execution of ‹g›.
The function ‹g› takes the result value \emph{and} the result
state of ‹f› as parameter. The definition says that the result of
the combined operation is the union of the set of sets that is created
by ‹g› applied to the result sets of ‹f›. The combined
operation may have failed, if ‹f› may have failed or ‹g› may
have failed on any of the results of ‹f›.

section ‹Adding Exceptions›
text ‹
The type @{typ "('s,'a) nondet_monad"} gives us nondeterminism and
failure. We now extend this monad with exceptional return values
that abort normal execution, but can be handled explicitly.
We use the sum type to indicate exceptions.
In @{typ "('s, 'e + 'a) nondet_monad"}, @{typ "'s"} is the state,
@{typ 'e} is an exception, and @{typ 'a} is a normal return value.
This new type itself forms a monad again. Since type classes in
Isabelle are not powerful enough to express the class of monads,
we provide new names for the @{term return} and @{term bind} functions
in this monad. We call them ‹returnOk› (for normal return values)
and ‹bindE› (for composition). We also define ‹throwError›
to return an exceptional value.

section "Hoare Logic"
subsection "Validity"
text ‹This section defines a Hoare logic for partial correctness for
the nondeterministic state monad as well as the exception monad.
The logic talks only about the behaviour part of the monad and ignores
the failure flag.
The logic is defined semantically. Rules work directly on the
validity predicate.
In the nondeterministic state monad, validity is a triple of precondition,
monad, and postcondition. The precondition is a function from state to
bool (a state predicate), the postcondition is a function from return value
to state to bool. A triple is valid if for all states that satisfy the
precondition, all result values and result states that are returned by
the monad satisfy the postcondition. Note that if the computation returns
the empty set, the triple is trivially valid. This means @{term "assert P"}
does not require us to prove that @{term P} holds, but rather allows us
to assume @{term P}! Proving non-failure is done via separate predicate and
calculus (see below).

subsection "Non-Failure"

With the failure flag, we can formulate non-failure separately
from validity. A monad ‹m› does not fail under precondition
‹P›, if for no start state in that precondition it sets
the failure flag.

It is often desired to prove non-failure and a Hoare triple
simultaneously, as the reasoning is often similar. The following
definitions allow such reasoning to take place.

Usually, well-formed monads constructed from the primitives
above will have the following property: if they return an
empty set of results, they will have the failure flag set.

reasoning that functions in the exception monad either do
no throw an exception or never return normally.
