Ockham algebra, also known as Ockham or Ockham's algebra, is a mathematical structure that arises in the study of certain algebraic systems. It is named after the philosopher and theologian William of Ockham, although the connection to his philosophical ideas about simplicity (the principle known as Ockham's Razor) is often metaphorical rather than direct.
