Original question and givens

Use the same qualified complete finite unital ring on Fin(8)={0,…,7}, with addition=[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [1, 0, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4], [2, 3, 0, 1, 6, 7, 4, 5], [3, 2, 1, 0, 5, 4, 7, 6], [4, 7, 6, 5, 0, 3, 2, 1], [5, 6, 7, 4, 3, 0, 1, 2], [6, 5, 4, 7, 2, 1, 0, 3], [7, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 0]] and multiplication=[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2], [0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3], [0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 4], [0, 3, 2, 1, 4, 7, 6, 5], [0, 2, 2, 0, 4, 4, 6, 6], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]] in label order. All unital-ring axioms, including distinct two-sided identities, must already hold. The identity labels need not be 0 and 1. Commutativity is a separate multiplication obligation; even a commutative ring may have nonzero zero divisors and need not be a field. Give (n,zero,one,all [a,b,ab,ba] failures with a<b in label order,commutative?,classification). Classification is commutative_ring or unital_ring_not_commutative.

  • G001 — Use the same qualified complete finite unital ring on Fin(8)={0,…,7}, with addition=[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [1, 0, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4], [2, 3, 0, 1, 6, 7, 4, 5], [3, 2, 1, 0, 5, 4, 7, 6], [4, 7, 6, 5, 0, 3, 2, 1], [5, 6, 7, 4, 3, 0, 1, 2], [6, 5, 4, 7, 2, 1, 0, 3], [7, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 0]] and multiplication=[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2], [0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3], [0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 4], [0, 3, 2, 1, 4, 7, 6, 5], [0, 2, 2, 0, 4, 4, 6, 6], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]] in label order. All unital-ring axioms, including distinct two-sided identities, must already hold. The identity labels need not be 0 and 1. Commutativity is a separate multiplication obligation; even a commutative ring may have nonzero zero divisors and need not be a field.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

After

both complete operation tables typed and closed
