An article<\/a> (interview) with John Baez<\/a> used an E8 projection which I introduced to Wikipedia in Feb of 2010 here<\/a>. Technically, it is E8 projected to the E6 Coxeter plane. <\/p>\n

The projection uses X Y basis vectors of:
\nX = {-Sqrt[3] + 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0};
\nY = {0, Sqrt[3] – 1, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0};<\/p>\n

Resulting in vertex overlaps of:
\n24 Yellow with 1 overlap
\n24 Dark Blue each with 8 overlaps (192 vertices)
\n1 Light Blue with 24 overlaps (24 vertices)<\/p>\n

After doing this for a few example symmetries<\/a>, Tom took my idea of projecting higher dimensional objects to the 2D (and 3D) symmetries of lower dimensional subgroups – and ran with it in 2D – producing a ton of visualizations across WP. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It was one of those that was subsequently used that article from the 4_21 E8 WP page<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here is a representation of E6 in the E6 Coxeter plane:
