Nice.

But I have so far little access to software, which actually uses 
bi-quaternions or similar.

I have seen Julia sets with quaternions. That's it.

I had many years ago contact with a guy named 'Timothy Golden' who 
invented 'multisigned numbers'.

These went somehow into my book, too.

Possibly they are in a way similar to your 'triplex numbers'.
