We obtain the underlying algebraic structure of the Z(2)-graded uniform topological symmetries of types (1, 1) and (2, 1). This leads to a novel derivation of the algebras of supersymmetry and p = 2 parasupersymmetry.AstronomyAstrophysicsPhysicsNuclear physicsParticles and fields physicsMathematical physicsJournal ArticleN/A85938700003Q35492
