\(E_8\) Gosset lattice-shell code 

Description

Spherical code whose codewords are points on the \(E_8\) Gosset lattice normalized to lie on the unit sphere.

The minimal shell of the lattice yields the \((8,240,1)\) code, whose codewords form the vertices of the \(4_{21}\) real polytope and the Witting complex polytope.

Protection

Smallest-shell code yields an optimal solution to the kissing problem in 8D [1,2].
