But the article is not really talking about quaternions - which are surly a useful tool, probably best known for the nice way in which they can describe rotations - but about R⊗C⊗H⊗O. And it's at the very least not obvious that this thing is anywhere close to where they journey is hopped to lead to.
- sannee 8y agoOctonions are to quaternions as are quaternions to complex numbers (and complex numbers to reals). This is called "Cayley construction" iirc.
- danbruc 8y agoSure, but the structure the article is about is the tensor product of the four algebras which is an algebra with 64 real dimensions.
