Natural functions on such a set one can define using the linear order include maximum, minimum and median functions. While it is clear what the clone generated by the maximum or the minimum looks like, this is not obvious for median functions. We show that every clone on X contains either no median function or all median functions, that is, the median functions generate each other.9 pagesRings and AlgebrasLogic08A40; 08A05text
