3. This generalization of the expression of general relativity is developed in detail in my book, SACHS M., General Relativity and Matter (Dordrecht) 1982 (GRM). I have also discussed this quaternion generalization in: SACHS M., Nature, 226 (1970) 138. It is interesting to note that the discoverer of quaternions, W. R. HAMILTON, speculated in the 19th century that the quaternion must play a role as a generalized time parameter in equations of motion. (I have quoted Hamilton's comment on this in GRM, p. 63.) This is indeed what was found in the interpretation of the geodesic equation as an equation of motion, in the quaternion form (2), in this author's analysis in general relativity.
