Indeed - with my derivation of QM, octonions, or more general measure are preferred over the complex. Which naturally leads to the question of why complex. Either octonions make no empirical difference, or a reason will be found why commutativity of the measure is necessary, or some experiment will be devised showing that complex number QM (ie standard QM) is empirically wrong. Any of these three options would be fascinating!
