Now I understand how natural numbers work and the basics of complex numbers like i and i\^4 and stuff. But what is a hypercomplex number? I’ve tried searching google but I always had no idea what it was talking about. There are even things like quaternions and octonions, like what is that?

For “beyond”, read up on geometric algebra, (also Clifford algebra(s) and Grassmann algebra(s)). Too much to go into here, but these are umbrellas under which complex, hypercomplex, dual, and all the others lie.
