Improved SVG E8 Petrie and Hexagonal Triality Representations

Stay tuned for more images. I think I will use this post to place my more beautiful works!

E8 in Petrie projection with 3D theoretically assigned physics particles

These use a better combination of specularity and opacity with both math and physics (theoretical assigned) 3D vertices. This is accomplished by actually projecting into 3D but using only X-Y basis vectors with Z={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0} and the (virtual) camera at XYZ={0,0,}.

Some images use color coding for vertices that indicate overlaps (e.g. when in the spherical (math) vertices E8 hexagonal basis). The overlap number data may then be presented in the lower left. This data can be removed using SVG editors such as Inkscape.

Some images also show the 3D technical axes (basis) projection vectors as well as the vertex, edge, and other data. Also, bear in mind that the PNG images shown below (so they are visible in Google Images after being crawled) tend to show pixelation artifacts and can present with black background vs. white. The SVG presentation (obtained by clicking the embedded image link) will be correct and the transparent background can be modified easily (e.g. with Inkscape).

Riemann Zeta function zeros:

This is a polar plot of the first 20 non-trivial Riemann zeta function zeros (including Gram points along the critical line ζ(1/2+it) for real values of running from 0 to 50. The consecutive zeros have 50 red plot points between each with zeros identified by magenta concentric rings (scaled to show the relative distance between their values of t).
