What this suggests me is that some inheritance mechanism is necessary.

For instance, one can argue that addition in the case of natural
numbers is a particular case of concatenation for sequences of the
same unit "I".

(i.e.:  III & IIII = IIIIIII captures the meaning of 3 + 4 = 7, yet
concatenation is more general than addition, for IIJ & JJII = IIJJJII
has no equivalent in the natural integers set)

So, if there were a word for "concatenation", say this is the word C,
it should bear some relation with the word for "integer addition", say
it is the word A.

C ---> A

For the same reason, "integer addition" should bear a strong
relationship with real addition, or complex addition.

Natural languages resolve this problem by using the word "sum" for all
additions, and by coining usages of "con-caten-ation", or ' other
types of "sums" ' for the other cases...
