=====Directoids=====

Abbreviation: **Dtoid**
====Definition====
A \emph{directoid} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot
\rangle $, where $\cdot $ is an infix binary operation such that


$\cdot $ is idempotent:  $x\cdot x=x$


$(x\cdot y)\cdot x=x\cdot y$


$y\cdot(x\cdot y)=x\cdot y$


$x\cdot ((x\cdot y)\cdot z)=(x\cdot y)\cdot z$

Remark: 

==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be directoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$
to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(xy)=h(x)h(y)$

====Examples====
Example 1: 

====Basic results====
The relation $x\le y \iff x\cdot y=x$ is a partial order.
