The commutative loop conjecture for integer spaces

From papers

Let IN={1,2,3,}IN=\{1,2,3,\ldots\} and let 3X3^X be the integer space associated with X2INX\in 2^{IN}. Define an operation \oplus by

ABAB.A\oplus B\leftrightarrow A\cup B.

The commutative loop conjecture. For all X2INX\in 2^{IN}, (3X,)(3^X,\oplus) satisfies: (1) (A,B3X)(AB3X)(\forall A,B\in 3^X)(A\oplus B\in 3^X); (2) (!ξ3X)(A3X)(ξA=Aξ=A)(\exists !\xi\in 3^X)(\forall A\in 3^X)(\xi\oplus A=A\oplus\xi=A); (3) (A3X)(!A3X)(AA=AA=ξ)(\forall A\in 3^X)(\exists !A^{\star}\in 3^X)(A\oplus A^{\star}=A^{\star}\oplus A=\xi); and (4) (A,B3X)(AB=BA)(\forall A,B\in 3^X)(A\oplus B=B\oplus A). These conditions assert closure, an identity element, unique inverses, and commutativity. The conjecture relates the algebraic structure of integer spaces to non-associative finite invertible loops (NAFILs). The paper gives examples satisfying the conditions but reports no general proof or disproof.
