Notes:
Spinors associated with an eight-dimensional Euclidean space are used for constructing a graded vector representation space for OSp(4/N,R). The underlying geometry fixes both the nature and highest dimensionality of the family of internal symmetry groups of the bosonic subspace, as well as those of the fermionic subspace through an appropriately defined inner product. The basic ingredients of the theory are fermionic variables while the bosonic fields occur as composite quantities made up from an even number of products of the fermionic entities.
