History of the Universe Simulation
I’ve created a sort of place-holder demonstration that stubs out 60 orders of magnitude of the 15 major eras or epochs of the history of the Universe. Here are a few artifacts from that simulation (also available in the full interactive demonstration).
E8 Projected to the Concentric Hulls of H4+H4 Phi
The 8 concentric projected 3D hulls from the vertices of the 4_21 polytope (using the split real even E8 roots) and a projection basis from 3 of the 4 rows of the E8 to the H4+H4 Phi folding matrix produce from inner to outer (sorted by vertex Norm):
- 4 Points at the origin
- 2 Icosahedron
- 2 Dodecaheron
- 4 Icosahedron
- 1 Icosadodecahedron
- 2 Dodecaheron
- 2 Icosahedron
- 1 Icosadodecahedron
Projection Basis:
Looking at it as an orthonormal 3D projection of 2 600-cells (from the fully folded E8 to H4+H4 Phi), which is the same (as it should be), but rotated.
Here is just one 600-cell (interior).
Here is E7 doing the same procedure:
And again for E6
Wow – that is nice! Remember, you heard it here first!

If you feel a blog post citation would not be an acceptable form for academic research papers, I would be glad to clean it up and put it into LaTex format in order to provide it to arXiv (with your academic sponsorship) or Vixra.

Perspective Enhanced HyperCube Projections to 3D
These objects are projected using an {x,y,z} orthonormal basis. For n={5,6,7} I add a small delta (.2) to {x,y,z} basis vectors in columns {n-2,n-1,n} in order to keep vertices from overlapping. There is an enhanced perspective applied to vertex location as well.

Rotating 6D D6 to 3D Pentagon Centered H3 for 2D Decagon Symmetry
Interestingly, these 2D and 3D projections includes all 240 vertices and 6720 edges of E8 with the same 2D and 3D projection. Only the vertex and edge overlap are different.

The rotation off of the D6 to H3 projection based on the E8 to H4+H4 Phi folding matrix is
Using this rotated basis, we now show rectified D6 (Cantellated 6-Orthoplex t0,2{3,3,3,3,3,4})

6 Demicubes Projected via H4 Folding Matrix
Taking the 32 vertex 6 Demicube with an even number of -1 elements and projecting with 3 of the 4 rows of the H4 folding matrix gives an dodecahedron hull with 12 vertices and 30 edges on the hull out of 240 edges of 6D length Sqrt[2]).

More Symmetries of E8 folding, including 5-Cube and 4-Cube (Tesseract)
The same 3 (projection basis vectors that produce the H3 Icosadodecahedron from D6 and the Rhombic Triacontahedron from the 6-Cube (or 2 sets from the 128 1/2 Integer BC8 vertices of E8) form lower dimensional objects within E8.
For more information on the above symmetries, see this post.
