This paper focuses on the structurally complete extensions of the system $\mathbf {R}$-mingle ($\mathbf {RM}$). The main theorem demonstrates that the set of all hereditarily structurally complete extensions of $\mathbf {RM}$ is countably infinite and forms an almost-chain, with only one branching element. As a corollary, we show that the set of structurally complete extensions of $\mathbf {RM}$ that are not hereditary is also countably infinite and forms a chain. Using algebraic methods, we provide a complete description of both sets. Furthermore, we offer a characterization of passive structural completeness among the extensions of $\mathbf {RM}$: specifically, we prove that a quasivariety of Sugihara algebras is passively structurally complete if and only if it excludes two specific algebras. As a corollary, we give an additional characterization of quasivarieties of Sugihara algebras that are passively structurally complete but not structurally complete. We close the paper with a characterization of actively structurally complete quasivarieties of Sugihara algebras.
We examine the consequences of having a total division operation $\frac {x}{y}$ on commutative rings. We consider two forms of binary division, one derived from a unary inverse, the other defined directly as a general operation; each are made total by setting $1/0$ equal to an error value $\bot $, which is added to the ring. Such totalised divisions we call common divisions. In a field the two forms are equivalent and we have a finite equational axiomatisation E that is complete for the equational theory of fields equipped with common division, which are called common meadows. These equational axioms E turn out to be true of commutative rings with common division but only when defined via inverses. We explore these axioms E and their role in seeking a completeness theorem for the conditional equational theory of common meadows. We prove they are complete for the conditional equational theory of commutative rings with inverse based common division. By adding a new proof rule, we can prove a completeness theorem for the conditional equational theory of common meadows. Although, the equational axioms E fail with common division defined directly, we observe that the direct division does satisfy the equations in E under a new congruence for partial terms called eager equality.
