An ACI algebra or semilattice is a system with a single binary, idempotent, commutative and associative operation.
Or, number of families of subsets of {1, ..., n} that are closed under intersection and contain the empty set.

EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 8: Let the points be labeled a, b and let 0 denote the empty set. We want the number of collections of subsets of {a, b} which are closed under intersection and contain the empty subset. 0 subsets: 0 ways, 1 subset: 1 way (0), 2 subsets: 3 ways (0,a; 0,b; 0,ab), 3 subsets: 3 ways (0,a,b; 0,a,ab; 0,b,ab), 4 subsets: 1 way (0,a,b,ab), for a total of 8.
From Gus Wiseman, Aug 02 2019: (Start)
The a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 8 sets of sets with {} that are closed under intersection are:
{{}} {{}} {{}}
{{},{1}} {{},{1}}
{{},{2}}
{{},{1,2}}
{{},{1},{2}}
{{},{1},{1,2}}
{{},{2},{1,2}}
{{},{1},{2},{1,2}}
(End)

The connected case (i.e., with maximum) is A102894.
The same for union instead of intersection is A102896.
The unlabeled version is A108800.
The case also closed under union is A326878.
The BII-numbers of these set-systems (without the empty set) are A326880.
The covering case is A326881.
