Pan-orthogonality
When coquaternion, then the scalar part of q is w.
Definition: For non-zero coquaternions q and t we write q ⊥ t when the scalar part of the product is zero.
- For every v ∈ I, if q, t ∈ Cv, then q ⊥ t means the rays from 0 to q and t are perpendicular.
- For every p ∈ J, if q, t ∈ Dp, then q ⊥ t means these two points are hyperbolic-orthogonal.
- For every r ∈ E and every a ∈ R, p = p(a, r) and v = v(a, r) satisfy p ⊥ v.
- If u is a unit in the coquaternion ring, then q ⊥ t implies qu ⊥ tu.

- Proof: follows from, which can be established using the anticommutativity property of vector cross products.
