As someone who is similarly and over-interested hobbyist, I wonder what happens when you throw in even more, for lack of the proper term, deviant math systems.

As someone who is similarly and over-interested hobbyist, I wonder what happens when you throw in even more, for lack of the proper term, deviant math systems. The cousins of imaginary numbers using either epsilon (where epsilon^2 = 0, epsilon not a member of R) or j (where j^2 = 1, j not a member of R). Or quaternions. Or the family of quaternions similar to the family of complex numbers. And so on. My guess is that it falls back to Occam's Razor and there has yet to be any physics to use it thus it isn't a serious contender for current problems until much more work has been done on all the threads already being followed.
