Given an algebra A of diminsion n, we create, using the Cayley-Dickson construction, an algebra of dimension 2n by taking pairs (a, b) ∈ A × A and thus define the standard operations: /pre( 1 = (1, 0) −(a, b) = (−a, −b) (a, b)* = (a*, −b) (a, b) + (c, d) = (a + c, b + d) (a, b)(c, d) = (ac − d*b, da + bc*) /pre) In order to maintain a standard behaviour, a variation of the Cayley-Dickson construction shown in wikipedia is used for calculating products in higher dimensions. The justification is that it would be nice if the original quaternion identity ijk = -1 holds — the variation on wikipedia defines ijk = 1. /box) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octonion https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/FanoPlane.svg /list( * /file FanoPlane.svg * /file oct.pdf * /file 0.pdf * /file 0.html * /imagefile 763419-candy-wallpaper.jpg * /file 0.html * /file 0.html * /file
