⊕ is variable! Just like g1 or g2.

I specifically didn't use an already-existing symbol because then you wouldn't know if I'm talking about that symbol, or any symbol in general.

Integer-multiplication is associative, E.g.

  "3 times 9 is 9 times 3"
  (3 + 9) == (9 + 3) == 27
and it has an identity element, E.g.

  "3 times 1 is 3"
  (3 + 0) == 3
