In Kalman Folding, Part 1, we present basic, static Kalman filtering as a functional fold, highlighting the unique advantages of this form for deploying test-hardened code verbatim in harsh, mission-critical environments. The examples in that paper are all static, meaning that the states of the model do not depend on the independent variable, often physical time. Here, we present a dynamic Kalman filter in the same, functional form. This filter can handle many dynamic, time-evolving applications including some tracking and navigation problems, and is easilly extended to nonlinear and non-Gaussian forms, the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) respectively. Those are subjects of other papers in this Kalman-folding series. Here, we reproduce a tracking example from a well known reference, but in functional form, highlighting the advantages of that form.

Kalman filtering is commonplace in engineering, but less familiar to software
developers. It is the central tool for estimating states of a model, one
observation at a time. It runs fast in constant memory. It is the mainstay of
tracking and navigation, but it is equally applicable to econometrics,
recommendations, control: any application where we update models over time.
By writing a Kalman filter as a functional fold, we can test code in friendly
environments and then deploy identical code with confidence in unfriendly
environments. In friendly environments, data are deterministic, static, and
present in memory. In unfriendly, real-world environments,
data are unpredictable, dynamic, and arrive asynchronously.
The flexibility to deploy exactly the code that was tested is especially
important for numerical code like filters. Detecting, diagnosing and correcting
numerical issues without repeatable data sequences is impractical. Once code is
hardened, it can be critical to deploy exactly the same code, to the binary
level, in production, because of numerical brittleness. Functional form makes it
easy to test and deploy exactly the same code because it minimizes the coupling
between code and environment.
