Given $x$ and $y$ as sums of nine cubes. When we multiply them, $xy$ may again be written as a sum of nine cubes, due to Wieferich and/or Kempner.
Does this invent a 9 dimensional number system, just like the complex number forms a 2 dimensional number system?1
If number system is not the right terminus, what do we have here?
