Now, we all know and love the quaternions, in which multiplication is not commutative, and the fact that, in all Clifford algebras, exponentiation is not commutative.
Having looked at the properties that we gain/lose going up the hypercomplex ladder (i.e. going from $\mathbb{C}$ to $\mathbb{H}$ to $\mathbb{O}$ to...), I am left wondering: if we keep extending these hypercomplex number systems, will there come a point where addition is no longer commutative?
If so, what is the dimension of this algebra?
And if you're still reading at this point, here's a bonus (sub-)question: What will be algebraic effect on this set, as a result of the lack of additive commutativity (does anything interesting result from this, e.g. an interesting property of the sedenions is the existence of zero divisors), apart from the ability to solve more equations?
If by "going up the ladder" you mean, "continue to apply the Cayley-Dickson construction", then no.
The construction always produces a power-associative algebra (with commutative addition) all the way up. This is easy to see since the addition defined in the construction relies on that of the previous ring, which is commutative.
