Definition:Commutative Semigroup with respect to Equivalence Relation

Let $C$ be a class.

Let $\thickapprox: C \times C \to C$ be an equivalence relation on $C$.

Let $\left({C, \cdot}\right)$ be a semigroup with respect to $\thickapprox$.

Then $\left({C, \cdot}\right)$ is a commutative semigroup with respect to $\thickapprox$ iff:
 * $\forall x, y \in C: x \cdot y \thickapprox y \cdot x$
