That does sound pretty close to what I had in mind. Are i and j from your example associated with orthogonal axes in a plane?

- yiyus 8y agoYes, they are. i would be the unitary vector in the horizontal direction, x, and j in the vertical one, y. In fact, geometric algebras are very general, and the one I briefly sketched is not the only possible interpretation. If you are interested, you can find many good introductions online, directed at different audiences. You can also search for the term "Clifford algebras" if you are interested in a more formal approach.
