Key Points

The study aims to demonstrate how the E8 lattice contains the golden ratio through its H4 subgroup symmetry, projecting to icosahedral quasicrystals.
Analyzed E8 root system with 240 roots in 8D and 120-cell vertices from the H4 subgroup in 4D.
Examined the projection of these symmetries into 3D to reveal icosahedral quasicrystals.
Constructed quasicrystals using 10 plane sets arranged by Fibonacci spacing.
E8 lattice's H4 subgroup reveals the golden ratio φ in specific coordinate permutations.
Icosahedral symmetry exhibited directionally follows Fibonacci ratios in projected distances.
Quasicrystal's diffraction pattern demonstrates icosahedral symmetry linked to E8 through a cut-and-project method.
