Just ignore the electron electron interactions.

Bibliography:

Double cover of $SO(3)$.

Isomorphic to the quaternions.

TODO understand better, mentioned e.g. at Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais (1982) page 20, and is something that Einstein worked on.

Ciro Santilli likes Magic: The Gathering and he was pleased when he learned that Steve Wozniak does too, and has an expensive collection: redsunsoft.com/2019/03/how-a-post-to-play-magictg-turned-into-an-afternoon-with-the-woz/

Makes RNA from RNA.

Used in Positive-strand RNA virus to replicate.

I don't think it's present outside viruses. Well regulated organisms just transcribe more DNA instead.

Interaction points:

Basically a synonym for second quantization.

Claims provably fair. satoshidice.com/fair clarifies what that means: they prove fairness by releasing a hash of the seed before the bets, and the actual seed after the bets.

As mentioned in bitcoin.it, it functions basically as cryptocurrency tumbler in practice.

This is basically how quantum computing was first theorized by Richard Feynman: quantum computers as experiments that are hard to predict outcomes.

TODO answer that: quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/5005/why-it-is-hard-to-simulate-a-quantum-device-by-a-classical-devices. A good answer would be with a more physical example of quantum entanglement, e.g. on a photonic quantum computer.
