Pseudo-quartenion and pseudo-octonion algebras

Three new flexible Lie-admissible algebras permitting non-degenerate composition have been found. They are not power-associative and do not possess the unit element so as not to contradict the Hurwitz theorem. Moreover, they satisfy a cubic rather than customary quadratic identity enjoyed by the usual quartenion and octonion algebras. Their dimensions are respectively, two, four and eight, so as to justify calling them pseudo-quadratic, pseudo-quartenion, and pseudo-octonion algebras. Also, they satisy some modified Jordan relations.
