SUMMARY
Matrix representations of Clifford algebras of type Cl(0,n) exist uniquely (up to change of basis) for all Clifford algebras Cl(m,n). This conclusion is supported by reduction identities that can be recursively applied to simplify any Clifford algebra to a direct product of simple matrix algebras. Explicit matrix generators for Cl(0,4) and Cl(0,6) are sought, as referenced in the discussion and demonstrated in resources such as the Wolfram Demonstrations and the arXiv paper.
