Unity, Oneness & Numbers: Octonion Poetry

Abstract

The non-associative algebra of the Octonions requires an ordering and sequencing of elements similar to the syntax of language. Only certain arrangements of elements will allow the meaningful or sensible evaluation of a given expression. The translation of Octonion Maths into words results in sentences that have a profound meaning, which illustrate the grand arc of learning and the process by which knowledge is acquired. Examples of this tend to be poetic, hence the term Octonion Poetry. A discussion about the properties of the octonions and why they have stories to tell precedes a sampler of example poems that follow the same pattern.
