Re:Less Weird Quaternions Using Geometric Algebra by Govindae on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @11:54AM (#14959133)
While we all learned in middle school geometric algebra that the even subalgebra of G3 is isomorphic to the quaternions, what is the relationship between the even subalgebra of G4 and the octonions?

If you write out a multiplication table, it seems that it's isomorphic. But... Octonions aren't associtive. Does the even subalgebra of G4 somehow lose associativity? Is it equivalent to Octonions with a cannonical multiplication order?
