Let $S$ be a set and $n \in \mathbf{N}$. Set $\mathbf{N}_n := \{i \in \mathbf{N} | i < n \}$. If there exists a map $\cdot : \mathbf{N}_n \to (S^2 \to S) : i \mapsto \cdot_i$ where $\cdot_i : S^2 \to S : (a, b) \mapsto a \cdot_i b$ is a binary operation, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is an \emph{$n$-biops}. Let $S$ be a set and $n \in \mathbf{N}$. Set $\mathbf{N}_n := \{i \in \mathbf{N} | i < n \}$. If there exists a map $\cdot : \mathbf{N}_n \to (S^2 \to S) : i \mapsto \cdot_i$ where $\cdot_i : S^2 \to S : (a, b) \mapsto a \cdot_i b$ is a binary operation, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is an $n$-biops.
Let $(S, \cdot)$ be an $n$-biops. If $\cdot$ has the property $p$, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is a $p$ $n$-biops. Let $(S, \cdot)$ be an $n$-biops. If $\cdot$ has the property $p$, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is a $p$ $n$-biops.
For example if $(S, \cdot)$ is an $n$-biops and $\cdot$ is $0$-commutative, $0$-associative, $0$-alternative or $(0, 1)$-distributive, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is a $0$-commutative $n$-biops, $0$-associative $n$-biops, $0$-alternative $n$-biops or $(0, 1)$-distributive $n$-biops respectively. For example if $(S, \cdot)$ is an $n$-biops and $\cdot$ is $0$-commutative, $0$-associative, $0$-alternative or $(0, 1)$-distributive, then I shall say that $(S, \cdot)$ is a $0$-commutative $n$-biops, $0$-associative $n$-biops, $0$-alternative $n$-biops or $(0, 1)$-distributive $n$-biops respectively.
If an $n$-biops $B$ is $i$-$p$ for each $i \in \mathbf{N}_n$ then I shall say that $B$ is a $p$ $n$-biops. If an $n$-biops $B$ is $i$-$p$ for each $i \in \mathbf{N}_n$ then I shall say that $B$ is a $p$ $n$-biops.

A $(0, 1)$-distributive $2$-biops $(S, +, \cdot)$, such that both $(S, +)$ and $(S, \cdot)$ are monoids, is called a rig. A $(0, 1)$-distributive $2$-biops $(S, +, \cdot)$, such that both $(S, +)$ and $(S, \cdot)$ are monoids, is called a rig.
A $(0, 1)$-distributive $2$-biops $(S, +, \cdot)$, such that $(S, +)$ is a group and $(S, \cdot)$ is a monoid, is called a ring. A $(0, 1)$-distributive $2$-biops $(S, +, \cdot)$, such that $(S, +)$ is a group and $(S, \cdot)$ is a monoid, is called a ring.
