Real Clifford Algebras roughly represent the Geometry of Real Vector Spaces of signature (p,q) with the Euclidean Space (0,q) sometimes just being written (q) so that the Clifford algebra Cl(0,q) = Cl(q). A useful starting place for understanding how they work is to look at the most central example and then extend from it to others. This paper is only a rough introductory description to develop intuition and is NOT detailed or rigorous - for that see the references. Real Clifford Algebras have a tensor product periodicity property whereby Cl(q+8) = Cl(q) x Cl(8) so that if you understand Cl(8) you can understand larger Clifford Algebras such as Cl(16) = Cl(8) x Cl(8) and so on for as large as you want. So Cl(8) is taken to be the central example in this paper which has 4 parts: How Cl(8) works; What smaller Clifford Algebras inside Cl(8) look like; How the larger Clifford Algebra Cl(16) gives E8: How larger Clifford Algebras Cl(16N) = Cl(8(2N)) give in the large N limit a generalized Hyperfinite II1 von Neumann factor. V2 adds Creation and Annihilation Operators of AQFT as A7+h_92 Contraction of E8. V3 adds discussion about AQFT Possibility Space.
