Question: If quaternions represent Cartesian space but octonions do not, why ?
Asked by levi
Octonions are non-associative, meaning that when operating with them, expressions don't always produce the same result when the order of the operands change. This makes them difficult to work with and unsuitable for representing Cartesian space which relies on commutative and associative operations.
