Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Hypercomplex number, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

There are 2 reasons why I don't consider my edit as an original research:

1. It is just a mathematical transformation and therefore it is not a question of personal opinion whether it's correct or not.
2. Kantor and Solodovnikov showed for the 2D-case how to normalize the non-real unit to a normalized non-real unit j ∈ {0,1,-1}, so I'm not the first to do so.--Slow Phil--Slow Phil (talk) 12:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
