Whenever we have a [semi-ring or *rig*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiring) \$$(R, +, \cdot)\$$ then we can define matrix multiplication and addition.

In the special case John is thinking of here:

I suspect it follows that matrix multiplication is associative, even for infinite matrices, because \$$\mathbf{Bool}\$$ is a [complete semiring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiring#Complete_and_continuous_semirings). However, I am not sure..

While I'm busy gearing up to be wrong, I also suspect every monoidal poset gives rise to a complete semiring. This might explain the \$$[0-\infty]\$$-feasibility construction I was wondering about earlier.
