For any associative algebra A, the left regular representation is an embedding of A into its linear endomorphism algebra End(A). In this talk, I shall explain how this elementary observation can be generalised to a (less elementary) structure result for general non-associative algebras. The describes the category of unital, not necessarily associative, algebras in terms of associative algebras with certain distinguished subspaces.
