We give a pedagogical introduction to the nonassociative structures arising from recent developments in quantum mechanics with magnetic monopoles, in string theory and M-theory with non-geometric fluxes, and in M-theory with non-geometric Kaluza-Klein monopoles. After a brief overview of the main historical appearences of nonassociativity in quantum mechanics, string theory and M-theory, we provide a detailed account of the classical and quantum dynamics of electric charges in the backgrounds of various distributions of magnetic charge. We apply Born reciprocity to map this system to the phase space of closed strings propagating in R-flux backgrounds of string theory, and then describe the lift to the phase space of M2-branes in R-flux backgrounds of M-theory. Applying Born reciprocity maps this M-theory configuration to the phase space of M-waves probing a non-geometric Kaluza-Klein monopole background. These four perspective systems are unified by a covariant 3-algebra structure on the M-theory phase space.

Categorified structures over moduli spaces: Anomalies, non-invertible symmetries, and exceptional holonomy
The paper conjectures that non-invertible Ising and tricritical Ising symmetries organize closed string states and D-brane categories into categorical bundles over moduli spaces of exceptional holonomy compactifications.

A Linear Structure from Magnetic-Dipole Systems and Its Geometry
For magnetic algebras with an invariant plane, F admits γ-parameterized decompositions and the maximal translational-force eigenvalue λbar is bounded in terms of ||P||, λF, λMF, and λP.

Schwinger's non-commutative coordinates and duality between helicity and Dirac quantisation conditions
Demanding associativity of the momentum translation operator for Schwinger's non-commuting coordinates of massless particles yields the helicity quantization λ=(ℏ/2)n, shown to be dual to Dirac's monopole quantization.
