ALGEBRA UNIVERSALIS, vol.85, no.3, 2024 (SCI-Expanded)
We define a special network that exhibits the large embeddings in any class of similar algebras. With the aid of this network, we introduce a notion of distance that conceivably counts the minimum number of dissimilarities, in a sense, between two given algebras in the class in hand; with the possibility that this distance may take the value ∞. We display a number of inspirational examples from different areas of algebra, e.g., group theory and monounary algebras, to show that this research direction can be quite remarkable.
