// Monoid — a set with an associative binary operation and identity element.
//
// The three monoid laws:
//   1. Associativity: combine(combine(a, b), c) = combine(a, combine(b, c))
//   2. Left identity: combine(empty(), a) = a
//   3. Right identity: combine(a, empty()) = a
//
// In pr4xis, monoids underlie:
//   - Trace accumulation: (Vec<TraceRecord>, concat, [])
//   - Morphism composition: (Morphisms, compose, identity)
//   - String building: (String, +, "")
//
