Kleisli List Arrow Combinators

I see your problem... maybe the following will help you

let force (value : Lazy<_>) = value.Force()
let fix f = let rec x = lazy (f x) in x
let lazyMap f l = lazy(f (force l))


let rec mfix f = match force (fix (f << lazyMap List.head)) with
| [] -> []
| x::_ -> x :: mfix (List.tail<< f)
