E8's 10 24-cells (H4 and H4φ) made up from 10 8-cell Tesseracts and their dual 16-cell 4-Orthoplexes

I decided to visualize my decomposition of the 10 self-dual 24-cells of E8. These are shown in the Petrie projection of E8 that is split into H4 and H4φ using my E8 to H4 folding matrix. The interesting aspect of this is that the selection of the canonical H4 24-cell determines the other 4 24-cells that make up the 96 vertices of the H4 snub-24-cell by rotating 4 times by π/5. Scaling the vertices by φ on the Petrie projection give the other 5 24-cell+snub-24-cell vertices.

It is also interesting to note that (my modified) Lisi physics particle assignments (with particle/anti-particle pairing) create 30 nicely ordered 4-particle/anti-particle sets that (fairly consistently) distribute over type, spin, generation, and color. These are visualized in 3D with shape, size and color defined by the quantum numbers of the assigned particle. The 3D projection is the same as that of the Petrie with a 3rd Z vector added. For more detail, see my latest paper.

The last set of images (using only the “math version” round black vertices and numeric identifier from the position in the Pascal triangle/Clifford Algebra canonical lexicographic ordering) are the 2D rotations of 24-cells around face-3 of this projection (which turns out to be the orthonormal shape of the H4 600 cells).
