After reviewing the main concepts of general relativity for describing spacetime and test particles, the authors introduce the local geodesic multiplication of spacetime points which converts spacetime locally into an algebraic system called a local geodesic loop. They also consider physical aspects of the geodesic multiplication, introduce tangent Akivis algebras, propose quantum conditions for infinitesimal quantum events, and discuss a global description.
