If you would like to discuss the idea in real live . There exists a decent set of literature out there for this, but unfortunately it's scattered across different `cultures' like a mathematical Tower of Babel.

The Clifford algebra of spacetime is not H(2), because in the non-relativisitic limit the Dirac theory has to reduce to the Pauli 2-spinor theory. This structure is very general. Which defines the causality condition between different spinors. The theories predict that such structures, essentially individual building blocks in the fabric of spacetime, are so ephemeral as to disappear after 10^{ -44} seconds, yet electrons for example are much longer-lived. This equation is a fancy spinor form of x = x_0 + vt. The H(2) theory would lead to Majorana fermions, and these are not seen. We see that the spinor propagator equals a scalar propagator, which provides the pole and time-order structure, multiplied by some matrix in spinor space. Over time, as the two particles become widely separated in space, even by light-years, quantum mechanics suggests that a measurement of one would immediately impact the other. I've been spending some time thinking about spinors on curved spacetime. Einstein was quick to point out that this violated the universal speed limit set out by special relativity. In 1928, British physicist Paul Dirac showed that the spin of the electron is intimately related to the structure of spacetime. In a radical reworking of the If you are interested in further reading, you might find Roger Penrose's new book The Road to Reality useful, as it provides a good explanation of some parts of the new theory, based on spinors.
