The algebra of polynomials in variables x1,...,xn can be graded by the degree of the terms, and the homogeneous elements are simply the homogeneous polynomials in the usual sense of the term.
The notion of degree, for the grading, is the same notion of degree as you should have seen defined already for tensors.
For example, Clifford algebras, a generalization of exterior algebras, are graded by the additive group of two elements.

 Exterior algebra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the exterior algebra (also known as the Grassmann algebra) of a given vector space V is a certain unital associative algebra which contains V as a subspace.
Thus the exterior algebra forms a graded algebra where the grade is given by k.
Grassmann algebras have some important applications in physics where they are used to model various concepts related to fermions and supersymmetry.

In particular we prove the universality of the graded derivation-based first-order differential calculus and show, that M (njm) is a \noncommutative graded manifold" in a stricter sense: There is a natural body map and the cohomologies of M (njm) and its body coincide (as in the case of ordinary graded manifolds).
Although the Z2-graded algebra of global sections of the structure sheaf of a graded manifold is a \baby-noncommutative geometry" the differential geometry of graded manifolds is treated and interpreted in the spirit of classical differential and algebraic geometry.
It induces an isomorphism between the graded derivation-based cohomology of M (njm) and the derivation-based cohomology of its body, such that the situation described by a theorem of Kostant [22] is generalized to the noncommutative case.

Geometric algebra is a (Click link for more info and facts about Clifford algebra) Clifford algebra given a geometric interpretation which makes it useful in an exceptionally wide range of physics problems, particularly those that involve rotations, phases or imaginary numbers.
It is to be noted that in geometric algebra in all its generality there is no restriction whatsoever on the value of the scalar, it can very well be negative, even zero (in that case, the possibility of an inner product is ruled out if you require).
Relevant is the distinction between axial and polar vectors in vector algebra, which is natural in geometric algebra as the mere distinction between vectors and bivectors (elements of grade two).

Several commutation expressions obtained for those Lie algebras can be generalized for $3$-graded Lie algebras over a field $K$ of \hbox{characteristic} zero, especially those between elements of the universal \hbox{enveloping} algebras of ${\mathfrak g_{-1}} $ and ${\mathfrak g_1 }$.
From a $3$-graded Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ one obtains a KKT algebra ${\mathfrak g}^{\#}$, defining \begin{equation}\label{E:3G-KKT} {\mathfrak g}^{\#} ={\mathfrak g'}\s /({\mathfrak g'_0} \cap Z_{\mathfrak g'}), \end{equation} where ${\mathfrak g'}$ is the 3-graded Lie subalgebra of ${\mathfrak g}$ spanned by ${\mathfrak g_{-1}}$ and ${\mathfrak g_1}$, and $Z_{\mathfrak g'}$ denotes its center.

 Combinatorial Hopf Algebras
This morphism arises from a universal property of the Hopf algebra Qsym as a terminal object in the category of graded Hopf algebras equipped with a zeta-function.
The relation of Qsym to the ring of symmetric functions was first clarified by Malvenuto and Reutenauer via graded Hopf duality to the Solomon descent algebras, and then Gelfand, et al., defined the graded Hopf algebra NC of non- commutative symmetric functions and identified it with the Solomon descent algebra.
Relations between these algebras have yet to be fully studied, and we believe that special structures of these algebras will have relevance to the original combinatorics we began with.

I consider [Clifford Space] to be similar to a quaternionic space, with several graded orders of infinite dimensions, rather in the manner of the graded Clifford algebra.
In summary, since there is extant literature on quaternionic manifolds and spaces, and since the quaternions are one of the Clifford algebras, it does not seem to me to be much of a stretch to generate a Clifford space or a Clifford manifold.

 Geometric algebra - Definition up Erdmond.Com
's geometric algebra is a reinterpretation of Clifford algebras over the reals (said to be a return to the original name and interpretation intended by William Clifford).
It is to be noted that in geometric algebra in all its generality there is no restriction whatsoever on the value of the scalar, it can very well be negative, even zero (in that case, the possibility of an inner_product is ruled out if you require \langle x, x \rangle \ge 0).
The usual dot_product and cross_product of traditional vector algebra (on \mathbb{R}^3) find their places in geometric algebra \mathcal{G}_3 as the inner product :\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} = \frac{1}{2}(\mathbf{a}\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{b}\mathbf{a}) (which is symmetric) and the outer product :\mathbf{a}\wedge\mathbf{b} = \frac{1}{2}(\mathbf{a}\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{b}\mathbf{a}) with :\mathbf{a}\times\mathbf{b} = -i(\mathbf{a}\wedge\mathbf{b}) (which is antisymmetric).

If M is a (differential) manifold and H is an (smooth) algebra bundle over M with a Grassmann algebra as the fiber, then the space of (smooth) sections of M forms a supercommutative algebra under pointwise multiplication.
If M is a real manifold and we define an involution * over the fiber turning it into a * algebra, then the resulting algebra would define a real supermanifold.
