Abstrakt: The octonion spinor field is studied. The nonassociativeness of the algebra makes it possible to introduce a new quantum number - the associator as a partner of spin - as a measure of nonassociativeness and as a generator of the Lorentz group. This makes it possible to classify a particle by spin and by the associator. In this formalism the eigenvalues of the C, P, and T operators can be determined and the superselection rules which reveal the mechanism of P and CP violation can be obtained. In particular, when the associator changes by one we have P violation and when it changes by two we have CP violation. This is confirmed by analysis of the diagrams describing the P- and CP-odd particle decays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
