We develop the basic theory of Octonions, including various identities and properties of the octonions and of the octonionic product, a description of 7D isometries and representations of orthogonal transformations. To this end we first develop the theory of the vector cross product in 7 dimensions. The development of the theory of Octonions is inspired by that of the theory of Quaternions by Lawrence Paulson. However, we do not work within the type class real_algebra_1 because the octonionic product is not associative.
