The notion of apseudo-interior algebra is introduced; it is a hybrid of a (topological) interior algebra and a residuated partially ordered monoid. The elementary arithmetic of pseudo-interior algebras is developed leading to a simple equational axiomatization. A notion ofopen filter analogous to the open filters of interior algebras is investigated. Pseudo-interior algebras represent, in algebraic form, the logic inherent in varieties with acommutative, regular ternary deductive (TD) term p(x, y, z), which is defined by the conditions: (1)p(x,y,z) ≡ z (modΘ(x, y)); (2) for fixed elementsa, b of an algebra A, {p(a, b, z):z ∈ A} is a transversal of the set of equivalence classes of Θ(a, b); (3)p(a, b, z) andp(a′,b′,z) define the same transversal wheneverΘ(a,b)=Θ(a′,b′); (4)Θ(p(x, y, 1), 1)= Θ(x, y) for some constant term 1. The TD term generalizes the (affine) ternary discriminator. Varieties with a commutative, regular TD term include most of the varieties of traditional algebraic logic as well as all double-pointed affine discriminator varieties andn-potent hoops (residuated commutative po-monoids in which the partial ordering is inverse divisibility). The main theorem:A variety has a commutative, regular TD term iff it is termwise definitionally equivalent to a pseudo-interior algebra with additional operations that are compatible with the open filters in a natural way.
