    added pointer to today’s

    and this text:

    The exact gauge group of the standard model of particle physics (see there) is isomorphic to the subgroup of the Jordan algebra automorphism group of the octonionic Albert algebra that “stabilizes a 4d sub-Minkowski spacetime” (see there for details).

    More concretely, it is identified with the subgroup of Spin(9) which respects a splitting 3\mathbb{H} \oplus \mathbb{H} \simeq_{\mathbb{R}} \mathbb{C} \oplus \mathbb{C}^3 (Krasnov 19)
