Abstract

This paper presents several notable properties of the matrix U\mathbb{U} shown to be related to the isomorphism between H4H_4 and E8E_8. The most significant of these properties is that U\mathbb{U}.U\mathbb{U} is to rank 8 matrices what the golden ratio is to numbers. That is to say, the difference between it and its inverse is the identity element, albeit with a twist. Specifically, U\mathbb{U}.U\mathbb{U}-(U (\mathbb{U}.U)1\mathbb{U})^{-1} is the reverse identity matrix or standard involutory permutation matrix of rank 8. It has the same palindromic characteristic polynomial coefficients as the normalized 3-qubit Hadamard matrix with 8-bit binary basis states, which is known to be isomorphic to E8 through its (8,4) Hamming code.
