This research investigates the geometric properties of the E8 root system when projected onto the Coxeter plane, focusing on the emergence of the golden ratio.
E8 root system analyzed in 8D with 240 roots.
Projection onto the Coxeter plane formed a 2D image with 30 concentric rings of 8 vertices each.
Mathematical relationships between edge length ratios and the golden ratio were explored.
Edge length ratios in the projection approximate the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.618 and its reciprocal 1/φ ≈ 0.618.
The ratio of distances between vertex pairs aligns with φ² ≈ 2.618 and φ⁻² ≈ 0.382.
The projection manifests an 8-fold symmetry linked to the exceptional properties of the E8 group.
