In this paper we shall give a definition of an analogue for Jordan algebras of the classical notion of a Cartan subalgebra of a Lie algebra. This is based on a notion of associator nilpotency of a Jordan algebra. A Jordan algebra is called associator nilpotent if there exists a positive (odd) integer M such that every associator of order M formed of elements of is 0 (§2).
