For an associative and commutative operation, iterating it over the values of a map on a nonempty finite set gives the same result for every enumeration of the set.
In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let be an associative and commutative binary operation on a set , let be a nonempty finite set with as in The Number of Elements of a Finite Set §cardinality, and let . Let be as in Intervals of Natural Numbers §segment and iterated operations as in Iterated Operations: Finite Sums and Finite Products §iterated.
