Summary:
This short note completes the results of [3] by removing the locality assumption on the operators. After providing a quick survey on (infinitesimally) natural operations, we show that all the bilinear operators classified in [3] can be characterized in a completely algebraic way, even without any continuity assumption on the operations.
