Abstract
In this work we study the interplay between the Coxeter-Dickson -order, the para-octonions, and the real Okubo algebra. We prove that the Coxeter-Dickson order remains closed for the para-octonionic product, so that one recovers a genuine -integral system with underlying lattice . Intriguingly, the Okubo product behaves in a different and more arithmetic way: it forces -coefficients and does not preserve the same -order. After a diagonal -adic scaling we obtain a closed -order, whose direct metric shadow is a -primary conductor sublattice of , not itself. The lattice is recovered only by -adic saturation, equivalently by gluing, and this recovery is metric-arithmetic rather than multiplicative.
