this was "The Geometry of Cartan's Derivation". I got no answer from you.
(Perhaps you did not know "Cartan's Derivation")
So I try it again:
"Cartan's Derivation" is simply the "Exterior Derivation"
I want to publish a new result. I hope, you find it
interesting. If you do know the result or have any
comments, let me know ...:-).

Hopefully you find it not too discouraging, but I am
almost sure you will find all that in a more general
setting in Bourbaki, Algebre, Chap 1 - 3. However I
have only 'scanned' it ... may be the following is
also helpful http://www1.mengr.tamu.edu/rbowen/
Your paper on "canonicality" is strange...
First you establish that the "canonical
basis" of R^n is not "canonical", which
is really a truism.
Then you go on to show in the next section that
the neutral element of a group is
not "canonical" which, for every sensible
meaning of "canonical", simply cannot be true.
In every group there is exactly one element
which is neutral for the group product,
and that is as canonical as you can get.
Your "proof", though, consists in changing
the group product. But a group is a pair (G, *)
of a set and a product *. If you change the
product, then you've changed the group!
Your next section's conclusion is that
"there is no canonical generator for
a cyclic group of order >2". This is
of course true, because the automorphism
group A of a cyclic group simply-transitively
permutes the generatos, and A is never trivial
if the group has order >2. But the argument
you give is completely misguided: you again change
the product in the group, thereby changing
the group itself.
You are indeed correct that there is no real
definition for "canonical" encompassing all
the meanings with which that word is used in
mathematics. But that observation applies
to pretty much every mathematica term!

Thanks. I will Do.

I will verify this. I need some time...

I could not find it in Bourbaki.
