What's the deal with De Morgan algebras and Kleene algebras?
There are a lot of questions bundled together here. I will give some references for some of the questions.
An early paper on these topics is:
Lattices with involution

Is it possible that the number of $\mathcal{T}$-algebras is an arithmetic progression?
Is it possible that the number of $\mathcal{T}$-algebras is an arithmetic progression?
Here is a near miss: Let $\mathcal{V}$ be the variety of $\mathbb Z_2$-sets. These may be thought of as algebras …

What is a "general" relation algebra?
There is one natural candidate that leaps to mind, namely the construal of $2^G$ as a relation algebra for each group $G$ $\ldots$
This construction will not answer your question, since each relation …

Exponentials of truth values
Is there something deeper behind this analogy?
If you have a bijection $\beta\colon X\to Y$, then to every operation on $X$ there is a ($\beta$-)conjugate operation on $Y$. Namely, if $f\colon X^k\to …

Posets of equational theories of "bad quotients"
Let $\mathbb{R}=(\{\textrm{real numbers}\};0,1,+,\times)$. Is there an equivalence relation $E$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{R}(E)$ is not upwards-directed?
I will assume that the ord …

Classes of algebras axiomatizable by special formulas; and free objects
Question 1:
Given a class of algebras
$\mathcal{K}$,
what conditions on $\mathcal{K}$
imply that it can be axiomatized by a class of
$\mathcal{L}$-formulas
of a special type (such as an identity or qu …

Lattices of clones: is 4 worse than 3?
This is not an answer, but a long comment. I want to post references that are relevant to a question raised in the comments, namely

How large must algebras with a given congruence lattice be?
What do we know about the growth rate of $C(n)$?
We know the exact value of $C(n)$ if, in its definition,
we restrict to the class of distributive lattices.
Otherwise we only have partial results. Let …

Example of trickiness of finite lattice representation problem?
$M_4$, the modular lattice of height two with four atoms is an example.
$M_4$ arises as the subgroup lattice of the symmetric group on $3$ letters, hence it arises as the congruence lattice of a regul …

Is the equational theory of this "orthocentrish" algebra finitely based?
This algebra is finitely based.
In fact, if you choose any bijection from $\{a,b,c,d\}$ to $\mathbb Z_2\times \mathbb Z_2$, then you can transport the operation $F(x,y,z)$ to $\mathbb Z_2\times \mathb …
