Clone (algebra)
text:
In universal algebra, a clone is a set C of finitary operations on a set A such that C contains all the projections πkn: An → A, defined by πkn(x1, …, xn) = xk,
C is closed under composition: if f, g1, …, gm are members of C such that f is m-ary, and gj is n-ary for all j, then the n-ary operation h(x1, …, xn) := f(g1, …, gm) is in C. The question whether clones should contain nullary operations or not is not treated uniformly in the literature. The classical approach as evidenced by the standar
