https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_algebra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_algebra: "Universal algebra (sometimes called general algebra) is the field of mathematics that studies algebraic structures themselves, not examples ("models") of algebraic structures. [...] In universal algebra, an algebra (or algebraic structure) is a set A together with a collection of operations on A."
