That is not arithmetic. The addition in there doesn't have identity, it doesn't have inverse? Addition and multiplication are the same and simply return the largest number.

You might as well define that kind of "arithmetic" over any ordered set. For example, over students in a class, like
        Mark + Julie = Mark, Angelina + Jessica = Jessica
