Abstract: Rump asked in 2016 whether every finite quasi-linear cycle set is retractible. This was recently proved by Dietzel. In this paper, we reinterpret Rump's question in terms of automorphisms of certain pointed magmas, and propose a more general conjecture on the automorphisms of these magmas. We provide some theoretical and computational evidence in support of our conjecture.
