I wanted to use 'complex four-vectors' which are also known as 
'bi-quaternions'.

There are a few other constructs, which somehow similar features. Sorry, 
but I'm not good enough in math to deal with them properly.

I can program, but not that good, even if I have decades of experience 
with all kinds of computers.

Therefore this topic is not really my taste.

But I'm actually kind of an artist and think in pictures and try to 
interpret them in terms of physics (or the other way round and create 
pictures depicting physical equations).

To deal with the underlying math is a little beyond my abilities.
