An associate is a "friend of" or a "guy" of a current made-man member of the mob.
Usually an associate conducts business with the mob(or just one made-man), but some of them are low-form enforcers who do some "dirty job" in order to raise in the ranks and become an official member of the family(AKA soldier). Although an associate doesn't necessarily have to be Italian, only those who are can be officially become members of the family.

An associativity is an algebraic term relating to the condition of being associative, that is, (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
An associator is someone who associates with something, or a multilinear map in mathematics.
An association is a state of being associated, or a group of people associated for a common purpose, such as an organization or society.
Commutativity and associativity.
Commutativity only applies to multiplication. Associativity applies to addition.
They are closure, associativity, identity and invertibility. A set with addition defined on its elements which meets the above 4 properties becomes a Group.
There are two concepts here that are often confused. If you mean that the order of the operation of addition can be carried out in any order then it is the property of associativity. If you mean that the numbers can be written in any order then the property is commutativity.
The requirements are that the operation of addition is associative, the existence of an additive identity and additive inverses. Associativity: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c = a + b + c Identity: The set contains a unique element, called the additive identity and often denoted by 0 with the property that a + 0 = 0 + a = a for all a in the set. Inverse: For each element in the set, x, there exists an element which is its additive inverse. For addition, this is denoted by -x, and has the property that -x + x = 0. x + y = x + z Add the inverse of x to both sides: -x + (x + y) = -x + (x + z) By associativity: (-x + x) + y = (-x + x) + z -x is additive inverse of x, so: 0 + y = 0 + z 0 is additive identity, so y = z
