It is part of the definition of a group that the 3-adic relation ''L'' ⊆ ''G''<sup>3</sup> is actually a function ''L'' : ''G'' × ''G'' → ''G''. It is from this functional perspective that we can see an easy way to derive the two regular representations.

Since we have a function of the type L : G x G -> G,
Since we have a function of the type L : G x G -> G,
we can define a couple of substitution operators:
