We show how observing E8 from a nine dimensional perspective reveals three A8 simplex lattices, decorated by exceptional Jordan algebra matrices. Then, a tetrahedron from the QSN can encode a viewing vector, be uplifted to E8, and enjoy actions on F4, E6, E7 and E8 thanks to the Tits magic square, and the Truini-Rios magic star. These algebraic actions are at the heart of our code. We also show that the Fano plane and the famous octonion multiplication table emerge from this view point.
