 | | Split number-algebras, such as split complex numbers, split quaternions, Split Octonions, and split sedenions, are number-algebras of signature (p-1, p+1) with p dimensions of signature -1 plus a real 1 and p dimensions, other than the real axis, of signature +1. |
 | | Note that e0, i1, i4, i5, i8, i9, i12, i13, e2, e3, e4, e5, e8, e9, e12, and e13 form the Split Sedenions of signature (7,9). |
 | | To go beyond the 32-dimensional Complexified Sedenion Algebra, you have to give up the quaternionic and complex algebraic rules used to get 4x8 = 32 distinct bimatrix elements, and look at pairs of 2x2 matrices each entry of which is itself a REAL 2x2 matrix, giving a 4x4 x 4x4 = 16x16 = 256-dimensional algebra. |
