I just submitted to RSOS, and to arXiv, a comment on Joy's RSOS paper. The RSOS paper depends on the material in the Algebra paper. I named Joy as a person who should definitely be asked to referee my paper... I do not want the paper retracted, but I do want the errors in the paper ... exposed.
If Gill's paper is indeed submitted to RSOS, and if RSOS takes his paper seriously, and if I am asked to review it, then I will certainly recommend his paper for publication out of self-interest.

You have no proof. All the "proofs" are shot down now. So..., it is now Gill's theory. But that is OK, it is not a bad theory since no one has done it. Yet.

Fred, could you tell me, what work are *you* talking about right now? It seems as if you are talking about my 2001 arXiv paper, published by the IMS in 2003 in a refereed “Festschrift” volume. My theory is not a bad theory, indeed, because it proves that a certain distributed computing task is impossible. ...

I have revised this paper on the arXiv with a new appendix --- Appendix C: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.06172.pdf.
Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about the previously introduced octonion-like associative division algebra (pseudo-octonion algebra). For a specific seminorm described in the paper (which differs from the norm used in the original paper), it is shown that the pseudo-octonion algebra is a semi-normed algebra, which does not contradict Hurwitz’s theorem. Moreover, additional results related to the computation of inverse numbers in the pseudo-octonion algebra are introduced in the paper, confirming that the pseudo-octonion algebra is a division algebra with no zero divisors using the seminorm. The elementary linear algebra descriptions also allow straightforward software implementations of the pseudo-octonion algebra.

A professor of Engineering and Computer Science from a well-known Canadian University has taken an active interest in my "octonian-like" paper that Gill had campaigned to have retracted from the journal Communications in Algebra. Here is the abstract of the professor's paper, which he has written with one of his Ph.D. students:Using elementary linear algebra, this paper clarifies and proves some concepts about the previously introduced octonion-like associative division algebra (pseudo-octonion algebra).

I have read his paper, but it is not yet available online. I will post a link here when it becomes available. My original paper is available on the arXiv: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.06172.pdf.
The last version I saw has a pseudo-norm (or semi-norm) instead of a norm. It reduces the space to the quaternions.
I have posted Gill's retraction saga (involving John C. Baez) on PubPeer for the future historians and sociologists of science: https://pubpeer.com/publications/E3CC09 ... 5CAEE98D#5.
