Abstract

In the spirit of Peacock’s first assertion, we are now ready to specify some operations and identities in our algebras. But their choice is left mostly to the reader, contrary to Peacock’s last assertion.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In a letter sent to the author in 1994, using a criterion in [Will90].

  2. 2.

    Elsewhere unities are called ‘unit elements’.

  3. 3.

    Vaggione generalizes shells by replacing the nullity and unity by sequences of unary operations [Vagg96]. For the passage between his shells and those of the author, see [Knoe00].

  4. 4.

    A tolerance is a reflexive, symmetric relation that preserves the operations.
