>1. Assume reflexivity is true, x = x.>2. Assume transivity is true, x = y and y = z implies x = z. Now assume multiple objects exist, x, y, and z.
>3. Construct an ordered set to combine objects, e.g. (x*y), (x*z), (y*z)>4. Assume this * operation is commutative, (x*y) = (y*x)>5. Assume this * operation is associative ((x*y)*z) = (x*(y*z)) >6. Assume there is an identity element, e, such that (x*e) = x, i.e. this identity element leaves the element it modifies unchanged with combination>7. Assume there exists an inverse element y, such that (x*y) = e>8. Match these abstract, logical rules to realityDefine an object that exists, example, a flower. I call that an identity element. A flower is a flower. I now notice another flower. I combine the flowers into a bouquet.
>9. Quantify specific combination scheme as addition
