In this section, the dimension of $E$ is 8. Show that, for all $(x_{0}, \ldots, x_{7}) \in \mathbb{R}^{8}$, $$\left(\begin{array}{cccccccc} x_{0} & -x_{1} & -x_{2} & -x_{4} & -x_{3} & -x_{5} & -x_{6} & -x_{7} \\ x_{1} & x_{0} & -x_{4} & x_{2} & -x_{5} & x_{3} & -x_{7} & x_{6} \\ x_{2} & x_{4} & x_{0} & -x_{1} & -x_{6} & x_{7} & x_{3} & -x_{5} \\ x_{4} & -x_{2} & x_{1} & x_{0} & x_{7} & x_{6} & -x_{5} & -x_{3} \\ x_{3} & x_{5} & x_{6} & -x_{7} & x_{0} & -x_{1} & -x_{2} & x_{4} \\ x_{5} & -x_{3} & -x_{7} & -x_{6} & x_{1} & x_{0} & x_{4} & x_{2} \\ x_{6} & x_{7} & -x_{3} & x_{5} & x_{2} & -x_{4} & x_{0} & -x_{1} \\ x_{7} & -x_{6} & x_{5} & x_{3} & -x_{4} & -x_{2} & x_{1} & x_{0} \end{array}\right)$$ is a similarity matrix. What can we deduce from this?
