In mathematics, there exist magmas that are commutative but not associative. A simple example of such a magma may be derived from the children's game of rock, paper, scissors. Such magmas give rise to non-associative algebras. == A commutative non-associative magma derived from the rock, paper, scissors game == Let , standing for the "rock", "scissors" and "paper" gestures respectively, and consider the binary operation derived from the rules of the game as follows: : For all : : * If and beats in the game, then : * I.e. every is idempotent. : So that for example: : * "paper beats rock"; : * "scissors tie with scissors". This results in the Cayley table: By definition, the magma is commutative, but it is also non-associative, as shown by: : i.e. : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Commutative non-associative magmas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
