The geometric representation of
Octonions is from arXiv 1010.2979 by Jonathan Hackett and Louis H.
Kauffman,
who say: "... we review the topological model for the quaternions based
upon the Dirac string trick. We then extend this model, to create a
model for the octonions - the non-associative generalization of the
quaternions. ...
To construct this model of the quaternions using belt and buckle, we
consider a belt that has been fixed to a wall with the non-buckle end.
We consider rotations of the belt buckle about the three
standard cartesian axes which we correspond to the three quaternionic
roots of 1: i,j, and k. ... We ... get that carrying out any operation
twice yields a belt that is twisted around by a full 2 pi ... if we
perform 1 twice - giving us a 4 pi rotation - we can remove all of the
twisting without rotating the belt buckle. ... We note that the
operations are performed from left to right along a string of elements.
...
We construct our model for the octonions in a similar manner to the
model for the quaternions. Rather than using a belt,
we will instead use a two toned ribbon (black on the back, and white on
the front) with an arrowhead attached to one end (much as our belt had
a buckle). The other end is then attached to the interior of a ring
(much as our belt was attached to a wall). Lastly on the side of the
ring we affix a flag that allows us to keep track of the orientation of
the ring. ...
The operation L is defined by switching the side of the hoop that the
flag is attached to, and performing a full 2 pi rotation of the hoop
(or - alternately - the arrowhead) if the arrowhead is pointing up or
if the state is flag-right, but not for both. ...
The original belt model of the quaternions is strongly related to the
quaternions being a representation of SU(2), and SU(2) being a double
cover of the rotation group SO(3).
The fact that this model of the octonions is an extension of the
quaternionic model leads to the question of whether an analogue to the
relationship with SU(2) and SO(3) exists. ...".
Perhaps relevant to that question is
the fact that SU(4) is the double cover of SO(6)
and the relationship to the Conformal Group SU(2,2) = Spin(4,2).
Second Generation (8x8 = 64)
Mu Neutrino (1)
Rule: a Pair belongs to the Mu
Neutrino if:
All elements are Colorless (black)
and all elements are Associative (that is, is 1 which is the only
Colorless Associative element) .
Muon (3)
Rule: a Pair belongs to the Muon if:
All elements are Colorless (black)
and at least one element is NonAssociative (that is, is e which is the
only Colorless NonAssociative element).
Blue Strange Quark (3)
Rule: a Pair belongs to the Blue Strange
Quark if:
There is at least one Blue element and
the other element is Blue or Colorless (black)
and all elements are Associative (that is, is either 1 or i or j or k).
Blue Charm Quark (17)
Rules: a Pair belongs to the Blue Charm
Quark if:
1 - There is at least one Blue element
and the other element is Blue
or Colorless (black)

Blue Truth Quark (161)
Rules: a Triple belongs to the Blue
Truth Quark if:
1 - There is at least one Blue element and all other elements are Blue
or Colorless (black)
and at least one element is
NonAssociative (that is, is either e or ie or je or ke)
2 - There is one Red element and one Green element and the other
element is Colorless (Red x Green = Blue)
3 - The Triple has one element each that is Red, Green, or Blue,
in which case the color of the Third
element (for Third Generation) is determinative and must be Blue.
