Gürsey, Orbis Scientiae Conference at Coral Gables, Jan. 1976, and references therein. See also, A. Barducci, F. Buccella, R.Casalbuoni, L. Lusanna and E. Sorace, Firenze preprint; Jan. 1977, where the isomorphism between the Jordan products of the Fermion operators of C6 and of the six transverse split octonions is noted. The authors were not interested in the non-observability aspects (presumably related to non-associativity), and therefore the associative realization was chosen and the automorphism groups of some of the Clifford algebras were studied. We emphasize in what follows that the non-associative aspects are implicit in the Clifford algebras, and hence the study carried out by Barducci et al. is actually of greater generality.
