9    Octonians                principles of String theory 
The octonions can be thought of as octets (or 8-tuples) of real numbers Every octonion is a real linear combination of the unit octonions: where
e0 is the scalar or real element; it may be identified with the real number 1.
What is the difference between quaternion and octonion?

Octonions have eight dimensions; twice the number of dimensions of the quaternions, of which they are an extension.

8  Quaternions              principles of Quantum field theory
The quotient of two directed lines in a three-dimensional space, or, equivalently as the quotient of two vectors.

7  Complex numbers      principles of Quantum physics the combination of real and imaginary numbers
Schrodinger’s  equation
principles of general relativity

6  Reals (numbers)    principles of Einsteinian physics
number that can be used to  measure a continuous one-dimensional quantity such as a distance, duration or temperatureMinkowski  space.
Non-Euclidian  geometry
Riemannian  geometry
Maxwell’s  equation

5  Rationals (numbers)     principles of Newtonian physics

Any number that can be written as a fraction, where both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number)
Differential and integral Calculus
Euclidian geometry

4  Integers (numbers)       principles of comprehensiveness
number that can be positive,
negative, or zero.

3  Whole numbers        
  principles of  provability
any positive number


2  Natural numbers         
principles of counting

1  Units                           principles of quantity (more or less)

Show some love

"A philosophical treatise can be mostly written in object or process language,
but phenomenological descriptions must be by its very nature first person descriptions.
It is for this reason that self-observations, and personal experiences of the author are included."
