  In recent years, there is a growing interest in the studying octonions, which
are 8-dimensional hypercomplex numbers forming the biggest normed division
algebras over the real numbers. In particular, various tools of the classical
complex function theory have been extended to the octonionic setting in recent
years. However not so many results related to a discrete octonionic analysis,
which is relevant for various applications in quantum mechanics, have been
presented so far. Therefore, in this paper, we present first ideas towards
discrete octonionic analysis. In particular, we discuss several approaches to a
discretisation of octonionic analysis and present several discrete octonionic
Stokes' formulae.
