Muliplication in any dimension n ≥1

I co-wrote a paper on pow, add, and multiplication in nD, where n ≥ 1.

I am looking for criticism. Please be nice though. ?

The paper is at https://github.com/sjhalayka/julia_n_dimensions_paper/blob/main/julia_n.pdf

I see a number of formulations, but I don't see a rigorous treatment of why those formulations deserve those particular names. Which properties from the 1D space, and which properties from other multi-dimensional variants of those functions, are preserved?

For one illustrative example, is the derivative of your sine function, the cosine function, for all D? If so, which derivative? What about the partial derivatives?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it's not obvious why those functions are correct analogs, and I'm not going to do all the work to derive all that myself when you didn't in the original paper :-)

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };

I used the standard library in MSVC++ to obtain the complex functionality. Extending them to quaternion where n = 4, or any n for that matter, is a matter of simply adding components.

I tried it out in Wolfram Alpha and it works out.
