E8 Raylib Lab

This visualisation uses AI Generated code, finetuned for the best visualisation, not code quality

e8.mov

Interactive Raylib lab for building intuition about the E8 root system through animated projections, reflection-driven motion, root clouds, and several pages of linked panels.

What This Visualisation Shows

  • The 240 roots of E8 projected from 8D into navigable lower-dimensional views
  • Orbit and reflection patterns that reveal symmetry structure over time
  • Cartan and Dynkin-inspired panels that link algebraic structure to geometry
  • A projection lab for experimenting with basis choices and dimensional collapse
