This is a cloud based .ppt version. These show code and output from my VisibLie-E8 tool generating all Platonic, Archimedean and Catalan 3D solids (including known and a few new 4D polychora from my discovery of the E8->H4 folding matrix) from quaternions given their Weyl Orbits.
If you don’t want to use the interactive Powerpoint, here is the PDF version.
See these Mathematica notebooks here and here for a more detailed look at the analysis of the Koca papers used to produce the results :
Koca, Mehmet; Ozdes Koca, Nazife; Koc, Ramazon (2010). “Catalan Solids Derived From 3D-Root Systems and Quaternions”. Journal of Mathematical Physics. 51 (4). arXiv:0908.3272. doi:10.1063/1.3356985.
This uses the latest Mathematica version 13.2 with code tweaks to better understand what is being presented, including the E8 Algebra roots, weights, and heights. This is used on the E8 group theory page of WikiPedia.
I did a Mathematica (MTM) analysis of several important papers here and here from Mehmet Koca, et. al. The resulting MTM output in PDF format is here and the .NB notebook is here.
3D Visualization of the outer hull of the 144 vertex Dual Snub 24 Cell, with vertices colored by overlap count: * The (42) yellow have no overlaps. * The (51) orange have 2 overlaps. * The (18) tetrahedral hull surfaces are uniquely colored.
What is really interesting about this is the method to generate these 3D and 4D structures is based on Quaternions (and Octonions with judicious selection of the first triad={123}). This includes both the 600 Cell and the 120 Cell and its group theoretic orbits. The 144 vertex Dual Snub 24 Cell is a combination of those 120 Cell orbits, namely T'(24) & S’ (96), along with the D4 24 Cell T(24).

I’ve published a version of these demonstrations in the cloud, so no Mathematica installation is needed.

The Mathematica Cloud version doesn’t work in 3D as well as using a local .NB version with the free Mathematica CDF player. You can File->Download the local demonstration and use it after installing the CDF player found here.
Of course, the full licensed Mathematica Notebook works the best for this. See this file here for the Hindu 3D Sri Yantra and here for the Buddhist 2D I-Ching notebooks.
There is even a full pane 15) Sociology: Theological Number Theory: Ancient Sacred Text Gematria here.
Here is a list of other Interactive Demonstrations within my VisibLie-E8 package:

This is a link to the free cloud Mathematica demonstration. (Note: You need to enable “Dynamic Behavior” aka. interactivity in the upper left corner).
Please bear in mind that this demonstration is written for a full Mathematica licensed viewer. The cloud deployments are limited in interactivity, especially those that involve 3D and significant computation. Also, be patient – it takes a minute to load and more than a few seconds to respond to any mouse click interactions.
The utility of the cloud demo of this 4D (3D+color) Periodic Table is in visualizing it in 2D or 3D (from the left side menu) and building up n=1 to 8. Select the Stowe vs. Scerri display for different 3D models. The explode view slider helps distribute the lattices in the model.
The 2D/3D electron density representations for each atom’s orbitals are too slow for the cloud, so they don’t show anything. The isotope and list-picker of internet curated element data also does not function.
For an explanation of this pane #10 in the suite of 18 VisibLie-E8 demonstrations, please see this link.

The cloud deployments don’t have all the needed features as the fully licensed Mathematica notebooks, so I included a few of the panes that seem to work for the most part. Some 3D and animation features won’t work, but it is a start. Bear in mind that the response time is slow.
The newer version of the VisibLieE8-NewDemo-v13.nb (130 Mb) will work with those who have a full Mathematica v13 license. It is backward compatible to earlier versions. There are a few bug fixes from the older version of ToE_Demonstration.nb (130 Mb), which should work on v13 and older versions as well.
