But there are other options, such as PGA (Projective Geometric Algebra) which includes a basis vector that sqaures to zero. We will see how this allows us to model translations, and a point at infinity. We hint at many more possibilities. Geometric algebra is still a wide open domain that is actively researched. If you want to explore this vast frontier, we have a long list of resources that you can watch or download: [SDK 1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ichOiuBoBoQ The best video by Steven de Keninck that introduces PGA, projective geometry, the connection between symmetries and their invariant objects, etc. Simply brilliant. [SDK 2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX4H_ctggYo Another very strong video by Steven de Keninck that gives you a good introduction to projective geometry and PGA. [SDK 3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQyKb0Flm3w Yet another amazing video by Steven de Keninck that introduces the homogenous coordinates of projective geometry, and then goes on to show how this leads to the concepts of orientation, and the unification of forces and torques in classical mechanics. You can also download the PDF at https://bivector.net/PGAdyn.pdf . [SUDGY 1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i3ocLhbxJ4 Sudgylacmoe: A swift introduction to projective geometric algebra. [SUDGY 2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AKt6adG_OI An overview of many different operations you can define on the elements of geometric algebra. [LIM 1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGZNYGwsXTw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISKJPmuZkbY Good introductions to PGA and the meet & join operations.
