Description
Right now, in the merk module, there is no algebra for Merkle tree proofs. Having an algebra that would allow for proofs to be algebraically combined would be convenient and simplify how we collect keys and generate proofs throughout the various endpoints in many-rs.

Research direction
Start by reading the merk module and tracing the many-rs endpoints that collect keys and generate proofs. Define the proof algebra's intended combinations and verify that those endpoints can use it consistently; done means proofs can be algebraically combined and proof generation is simplified across the affected endpoints.
