This is remarkable and interesting....
But, what role does the 8-dim imbedding space play in your theory?
(I do plan to study your theory closely, but have not found the time yet)

If we could map the p-adic stuff onto the octonionic stuff in a clear way, this
would help my intuition and build a bridge between several theories.
