A transformation produces side effects when constructed from a function that produces side effects.
Transformations are represented using function types.

+### Match parameter names
+
+Some transformations (for example, `map` and `filter`) are represented using higher-order functions (functions that accept other functions).
+Each argument passed into a function must match the parameter name defined for the function.
+
+For example, `filter` accepts `fn`, which takes one argument named `r`:
+
+ ```js
+from(bucket: "db")
+ |> filter(fn: (r) => ...)
+```
+
+ If a parameter is renamed from `r` to `v`, the script fails:
+
+```js
+from(bucket: "db")
+ |> filter(fn: (v) => ...)
+ // FAILS!: 'v' != 'r'.
+```
+
+Because Flux does not support positional arguments, parameter names matter. The transformation (in this case, `filter`) must know `r` is the parameter name to successfully invoke the function.
