Suppose that a mathematical system consists of the symbols A, B, C, D, and E, and the operation is *. It would seem reasonable to define the square of an element, like A, as A2 = A * A. We could then define the cube as A3 = A * A * A. I claim that this definition isn’t necessarily well-defined: that is, it doesn’t always lead to a single unique element. Why not? What would have to be true about the system in order for our definition of cubing to be well-defined?
