Is there any operation/tool/procedure that generalizes all the other operations?

As the title of the question suggest. Is there any tool that generalizes all mathematical operations, like adding, subtracting, dividing or even integrating, deriving or making a matrix transformation. The most accurate example that I can think of now is the generalized Stoke's Theorem or in a similar way that of a Physicist that makes a model to explain many phenomena of nature.

I don't know if this question sounds pedantic and little scientific, but I would like to know it, just for divulgative propose.

Think about set-theoretic (crisp) operations. Zadeh's extension principle extends these operations to fuzzy sets.
