Mar 21, 2021 at 14:18 comment added pregunton I think there is a path between the projection functions $(x,y)\mapsto x$ and $(x,y) \mapsto y$. Consider the one-parameter family of continuous associative functions $f_t(x,y)=\max(\min(x,\tan(\pi t/2)),y)$ with $−1<t<1$, which form a path between $f_{−1}(x,y):=y$ and $f_1(x,y):=\max(x,y)$. By symmetry there is another path between $f_1(x,y)$ and $(x,y)↦x$, so we may take the composition of these two paths.
