Interesting. I think it isn't unital either otherwise Ω=0.

0=Ω+Ω=Ω+ΩΩ=Ω(1+Ω)=ΩΩ=Ω

Someone else had the same observation, but it is unital. Keep in mind that it isn't associative; you can't pull out the Omega like that.

The definition I'm aware of for non associative algebras has them distributive by default, so I believe the chain of equations is valid.
