Domain-specific

• Euler's Four-Square Identity
  • It transfers from complex numbers and two squares to quaternions and four squares, and—with nonassociative qualifications—to octonions and eight squares.
• Power Associativity
  • Alternative algebras, including the octonions, are power-associative because every two-generated subalgebra is associative, even though some three-element products fail global associativity.
