Could you elaborate. I would like to understand why the statement that "every module is a bimodule" is not acceptable.
In PanAxiom we have BiModule(R:Ring,S:Ring):Category == Join(LeftModule(R), RightModule(S)) Module(R:CommutativeRing): Category == BiModule(R,R) add if not(R is %) then x:%*r:R == r*x What does that have to do with ideal=twosided ideal vs. submodule!=twosided submodule (or whatever the problem is)?
