Quaternionic Rays instead of Complex

[Antizzio]

TL;DR

This guy fixed quantum mechanics like Kelly fixed Al Bundy's work bench.
Instead of Complex rays as states, he used quaternionic rays. Each quaternionic ray: (1) is a copy of spacetime (called a "possible world"); (1) is 4-dimensional, (2) has a natural FLRW metric built in; (3) is a Lie Group with a natural Haar measure; (4) looks loke an hourglass, flaring out towards past and future. And all this from a single requirement that logic of the observer is Boolean.

It's in Chapter 2 of the book
"Focus on Quantum Mechanics", Editors David E. Hathaway et al.
Chapter 2, "Geometric Modification of Quantum Mechanics"
Nova Publishers, Physics Research and Technology, N.Y. 2011, pp. 15-34,
ISBN 978-1-62100-680-0. Since it's $90, I was looking for pointers to a cheaper version. Thank you!
It does not look like standard Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics (as far as I know, it does not work very well, it just complicates computations enormously).

I don't know if it will be helpful, but the author has written an earlier, easily available paper on this this topic:
GR-friendly description of quantum systems. I took an quick look and have to say, compared to a typical paper written by a theoretical physisist, this work is framed from the perspective of a mathematician, and dare I say, a philosopher. You might search Google Scholar to find follow-up citations.
