Abstract: Consider arbitrarily parenthesized expressions on the $k$ variables $x_0,x_1,\mathrm{...},x_{k-1}$, where each $x_i$ appears exactly once and in the order of their indices. We call these expressions {em formal $k$--products}. $F^{s}igma(k)$ denotes the set of formal $k$--products. For $$, the claim, that $$ and $$ produce equal elements in a groupoid $G$ for all values assumed in $G$ by the variables $x_i$, attributes to $G$ a {em generalized associative law}. Many groupoids are {em completely dissociative}; i.e., no generalized associative law holds for them; two examples are the groupoids on $0,1$ whose binary operations are implication and NAND. We prove a variety of results of that flavor.
