\begin{definition}
A \emph{BCK-algebra} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot ,0\rangle$ of type $\langle 2,0\rangle$ such that


(1):  $((x\cdot y)\cdot (x\cdot z))\cdot (z\cdot y) = 0$


(2):  $x\cdot 0 = x$


(3):  $0\cdot x = 0$


(4):  $x\cdot y=y\cdot x= 0 \implies x=y$


Remark: 
$x\le y \iff x\cdot y=0$ is a partial order, with $0$ as least element.

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be BCK-algebras. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y) \mbox{ and } h(0)=0$
