Generate structure constants for Grassmann Algebra

The structure constants can be obtained by dividing each matrix entry by the list of basis vectors.

Grassmann algebra will be specified by setting the Caley-Dickson parameters (i2, j2) to zero.

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

Y-forms

Three traces of two graftings of an algebra gives six (2,0)-forms.

Left snail and right snail:

  LS                    RS

  Y /\                    /\ Y
   Y  )                  (  Y
    \/                    \/

       \    /          \    /
        f  /            \  f
         \/              \/

LS:=
  ( Y Λ  )/ _
  (  Y I )/ _
      V

   There are no exposed library operations named Y but there are 2 
      unexposed operations with that name. Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                                )display op Y
      to learn more about the available operations.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named Y 
      with argument type(s) 
                                 Variable(Λ)

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

Left and right deer:

   RD                 LD

   \ /\/              \/\ /
    Y /\              /\ Y
     Y  )            (  Y
      \/              \/

   i            j    i            j
    \    /\    /      \    /\    /
     \  f  \  /        \  /  f  /
      \/    \/          \/    \/
       \    /\          /\    /
        e  /  \        /  \  e
         \/    \      /    \/
          \    /      \    /
           f  /        \  f
            \/          \/

Left and right deer forms are identical but different from snails.

RD:=
  (  I Λ I  ) / _
  (   Y X   ) / _
  (    Y I  ) / _
        V

   There are no library operations named Λ 
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                                 )what op Λ
      to learn if there is any operation containing " Λ " in its name.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named Λ 
      with argument type(s) 
                                 Variable(I)

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

Left and right turtles:

  RT                   LT

   /\ / /               \ \ /\
  (  Y /                 \ Y  )
   \  Y                   Y  /
    \/                     \/

RT:=
  (  Λ I I ) / _
  ( I Y I  ) / _
  (  I Y   ) / _
      V

   There are no exposed library operations named I but there is one 
      unexposed operation with that name. Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                                )display op I
      to learn more about the available operation.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named I 
      with argument type(s) 
                                 Variable(I)

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

The turles are symmetric
