Hello! Does anybody know an image of a graph featuring the hierarchy of algebraic structures? Something rather complete.

So far I've found similar images describing the hierarchies of classes/categories in various programming languages. For example

    $\begingroup$ "Something rather complete" sounds like too tall an order. There must be thousands of algebraic structures that mathematicians are interested in. $\endgroup$

Page 2 of "Is 'the theory of everything' merely the ultimate ensemble theory?" by Max Tegmark contains the following image:

    $\begingroup$ What on earth are double fields and triple fields??? Also, why does the dodecahedron group belong to that chart? ...strange choices. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ +1 to André's comment. However much I respect physics and physicists, I personally think the article in question is a truly bizarre choice of a reference when it comes to dealing with algebraic structures. $\endgroup$

This is sort of a delayed response, but I came upon this question while googling for the visualization of the hierarchy of structures used in the Coq proof of the Feit-Thompson Odd Order theorem. That visualization is located here, image copied below:enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ Do you have a link to a higher res version. The link you gave is a directory. $\endgroup$

You can complement the image from Mark Kim with the algebraic structures between magmas and groups:
