Well I started coming at this from the Algebraic Topology point of view. That is the relationship between various topologies and various algebras. It seems to me that is about a whole topology being related to a whole algebra (group). I therefore need an entity like GroupPresentation (or something with that structure) to represent the whole group, not an element of the group.

Inside that, individual calculations still seem to involve individual elements. Unless there is a way to do Algebraic Topology purely from the outside (in a category theoretic way)?
