kek quaternions are just octonians where the l, il, jl, and kl components are all equal to 0

Octonian:

A more mathy approach to combining relativity and quantum mechanics. Instead of just having i as the only imaginary number, they introduce several more that when squared still equal -1. These can be imagined on different axis from i. These new imaginary numbers generate a 10 dimensional space-time, and it is theorized that gravity is caused by differential rotations in these imaginary planes.

A pain in the ass since the new imaginary numbers aren't associative or communitive.
