Continuity of the Clifford norm #
The reverse Clifford norm on the Lipschitz group is continuous over a Hausdorff topological field.
Its scalar value is recovered from reverse x * x through the closed embedding of the field
into the finite-dimensional Clifford algebra. The inverse coordinate of the unit-valued norm
is continuous by the homomorphism law. This is the local topological input for studying the
spinor norm through the Clifford norm.
