The BQ--Pauli to BQ--Weyl Lift: Electromagnetism and Relativistic Fluid Dynamics in Cl(1,3)

Authors: E. P. J. de Haas

The BQ--Pauli algebra provides an eight-dimensional 1+3+3+1 framework in which relativistic field equations can be organized through a hierarchy of algebraic products. Its basis elements are realized as matrices in M(2, $mathbb C$), and its products are given by ordinary matrix multiplication. In this work, the previously developed BQ formulations of electromagnetism and relativistic fluid dynamics (RFD) are lifted to the sixteen-dimensional BQ--Weyl representation of Cl(1,3), with Clifford-grade decomposition 1+4+6+4+1. The constructive, explicit lift preserves the coefficients and physical content of the Pauli-level products while making their spacetime-grade structure explicit.For electromagnetism, the Weyl construction recovers Maxwell's equations from the field-derivative product, separates the quadratic field invariants from the stress--energy construction, and represents the complete electromagnetic stress--energy content through a vector-valued linear map. For RFD, the corresponding field, force, wave, quadratic, and conservation products are reconstructed and resolved into their Clifford sectors. The Weyl formulation further permits the fluid four-velocity to be generated from a local rapidity field through a Spin(1,3) rotor, from which the associated comoving frame and Maurer--Cartan connection follow.Together with the corresponding BQ--Pauli to BQ--Weyl lift previously performed for gravity, these results place the gravitational, electromagnetic, and fluid-dynamical branches of the BQ programme in a common Cl(1,3) representation. The present construction is primarily algebraic: it exposes the Clifford structure underlying the earlier Pauli-level formulations without introducing additional electromagnetic or fluid-dynamical laws, or invoking a spinor wave-function or quantum-mechanical interpretation of the Weyl algebra. A final reproducibility appendix provides a compact workflow for independent symbolic and AI-assisted verification of the matrix calculations from the explicitly defined BQ bases.
