Abstract
A systematic analysis of the angles subtended by pairs of simple roots of all Lie groups is
carried out. The number value 21 of EHYEH, the Godname of Kether, is the number of
pairs of orthogonal roots of E8 and the number of angles between the seven simple roots of
E7 , its largest exceptional subgroup. The number value 15 of YAH, the older version of
YAHWEH, the Godname of Chokmah, is the number of pairs of orthogonal roots of E7 and
the number of angles between the six simple roots of E 6 , which is the next largest
exceptional subgroup of E8 . None of the exceptional Lie groups has a dimension that is a
Godname number. Allowing dimensions of groups to be 10×Godname number, the
Godname numbers 21, 15 & 36 define dimensions of subgroups of E 8. Only 21 & 15 define
groups of less rank than E8, all of which are its subgroups. Only 21 & 15 define groups of
rank less than or equal to that of E8 whose numbers of orthogonal pairs of simple roots are
Godname numbers. The letter values of EYHEH & YAH denote the numbers of right angles
between sets of simple root vectors of E6 , E7 & E8. The integers 1-15 forming a cross pattée
array sum to 4960. This is the number of space-time components of the 496 gauge fields of
E8 ×E 8 & SO(32), which are the gauge symmetry groups of the heterotic superstring. A
cross pattée array of integers 2-26 add up to 24800, showing how YAHWEH determines
the dimension 248 of E8 . The Godnames ELOHIM, EL, YAHWEH SABAOTH & ELOHIM
SABAOTH also determine this number. ELOHIM with number value 50 prescribes 496
because this number is the arithmetic mean of the first 50 triangular numbers after 3.

Table 1. Gematria number values of the 10 Sephiroth in the four Worlds.
The Sephiroth exist in the four Worlds of Atziluth, Beriah, Yetzirah and Assiyah. Corresponding to
them are the Godnames, Archangels, Order of Angels and Mundane Chakras (their physical
manifestation, traditionally symbolised by celestial bodies). This table gives their number values
obtained by the ancient practice of gematria, wherein a number is assigned to each letter of the
alphabet, thereby giving to a word a number value that is the sum of the numbers of its letters.
(All numbers in this table referred to in the article are written in boldface).

Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)1. Numbers of EHYEH & YAH prescribe E8
The gematria number values of the ancient Hebrew Godnames have hitherto been
found to prescribe the dimensions of E 8 and E8 ×E8 or SO(32) either arithmetically or in
the geometrical context of the yod population of overlapping trees or the yod/corner
populations of enfolded polygons generated by the Tree of Life. In this article, we shall
demonstrate how the Godname numbers of Kether and Chokmah select E8 and its two
exceptional subgroups E7 and E6 from the infinite number of Lie groups. Because of its
importance in proving rigorously that Godnames prescribe superstring physics, the
following discussion must be technical. It is therefore intended primarily for
mathematicians and physicists. For this reason, readers unfamiliar with group theory
are advised to turn to the simplified summary on page 10.
The mathematician E. Cartan showed in 1894 that there are four infinite series of
simple Lie algebras:
Dn , generates SO2n
An , generates SUn+1
n = 1, 2, 3, 4…
Cn, generates Sp2n
Bn , generates SO2n+2
and five "exceptional" Lie algebras:
E8
E7
G2
E6
F4
The structure of a simple Lie algebra or group G is defined completely by a set of (rank
G)-dimensional vectors called "simple roots," which span the "root space" of G, a (rank
G)-dimensional Euclidean space. The "Dynkin diagram" specifies the set of simple roots
αi (i = 1, 2, 3... rank G) of G. Each simple root is denoted by a dot in 2-d space. In the
case of a G having αi's with two different lengths |αi|, the longer roots are denoted by
open dots " " and the shorter roots by filled-in dots "●" (no simple group has roots with
three or more different lengths). There are four possible angles θij between any pair of
simple roots αi and αj in root space:
150º
90º
135º
120º
The angle between a pair of simple roots is denoted in the Dynkin diagram of G by lines
connecting corresponding dots. The following convention is used:
αi
αj
θij
│αi│/│αj│

enclose any of the angles 120º, 135º or 150º. In the Dynkin diagram of every Lie
algebra, there are no isolated roots: every simple root is joined to at least one other.

The Godname number 21 of Kether is the number of pairs of orthogonal roots of the
superstring symmetry group E 8 and the number of angles between the seven simple
roots of E 7. The Godname number 15 of Chokmah is the number of pairs of orthogonal
roots of E 7 and the number of angles between the six simple roots of E6 , a subgroup of
E8 favoured by many string theorists as the probable product of symmetry breaking of
E8 .
Turning to the non-exceptional groups:
1. for n = 6, number of angles between the simple roots of SU7 ; SO12, SO13 & Sp12 =
15;
2. for n = 7, number of right angles between the simple roots of SU8, SO 15, SO 14 & Sp14
= 15;
3. for n = 8, number of right angles between the simple roots of SU9, SO 17, SO 16 & Sp16
= 21.
Since the superstring symmetry group is E 8, any other groups picked out by the
Godnames of Kether or Chokmah must be subgroups of E8 . These are: SU9 , SO16
(n = 8), SU8 (n = 7) & SU7, SO13, SO12 (n = 6).

n = 16 determines the anomaly-free group SO32 with dimension 496. It is amusing that
the dimension of SU n+1 exceeds the largest Godname number 543 for n>22, the number
of Paths in the Tree of Life. B3 , (SO7) and C3 (Sp6) have dimension 21, A3 (SU4 ) and D3
(SO 6) have dimension 15, B4 (SO 9) and C4 (Sp8 ) have dimension 36 and D 9 (SO18) has
dimension 153. Allowing the further kind of prescription:

i.e., 15≤dG≤5430, then B10 (SO21) and C10 (Sp20) have the dimension:

(there are no other possibilities). The groups with rank less than or equal to the rank 8
of the superstring group E8 are SO 7 and Sp 6 (with dimension 21), SU4 and SO6 (with
dimension 15), and SO9 and Sp8 (with dimension 36). Since
E8 SO 16SO9 SO 7SU4 , E8E6Sp6 SU2×Sp6, and SU4 SO6 ,
the Godname numbers 21, 15 and 36 define dimensions of subgroups of E 8.
For what Lie algebras is the total number of angles between pairs of root vectors equal

21 also defines E7 and 15 defines E 6. The Lie algebras corresponding to 153 have rank
18, which exceeds the rank 8 of E8 and the rank 16 of E8×E8 and SO 32. They are
therefore disallowed. The groups corresponding to 36 are also forbidden because they
have rank 9. Only the Godname numbers 21 and 15 define groups of lesser rank than
E8 , all of which are its subgroups.

1. 21 also defines E8 and 15 defines E7, as found earlier. SO 17 is excluded because
SO16 is a maximal subgroup of E8. Since E8 contains the others as subgroups, the
group selected by 21 with the largest dimension is E 8.
2. 15 selects the rank-7 groups SU8 , SO15, Sp14, SO14 and E7 .
3. 36 selects only rank-10 groups, which are forbidden, having higher rank than E 8.
Page 12
Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)Similarly, the rank-19 groups selected by 153 are disallowed.
It is concluded that only 21 and 15 define groups of rank less than or equal to that of E 8
whose numbers of orthogonal pairs of simple roots are equal to Godname numbers.
We shall now prove that the Godnames EHYEH and YAH have letter values which
denote the numbers of right angles between sets of simple root vectors of E6 , E7 and E 8.
Below are tabulated the Dynkin diagrams of these groups, their simple roots and the
labelled simple roots that are perpendicular to them:

Notice that:
1. The number 15 of YAH (Hebrew: YH) is the number of right angles between the
seven simple roots of E7. The value 10 of the letter Y is the number of right angles
between the root vectors of E6 and the value 5 of letter H is the extra number of right
angles between the simple root vectors of E7.
2. The number 21 of EHYEH (Hebrew: AHIH) is the number of right angles between the
eight simple root vectors of E8 . The value 1 of the letter A denotes the right angle
between roots 8 & 7, the value 5 of the first letter H is the number of right angles
between simple root 8 and simple roots 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6, and the value 5 of the second
letter H is the number of right angles between simple root 7 and roots 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.
Comparing AHIH with YH and remembering that the Hebrew letters for I and Y are
the same, we see that AHIH specifies the superstring symmetry group E8, YH
specifies E7 and I (or Y) specifies E 6.
According to the Dynkin diagram of E 8, any simple root vector is orientated at an angle
of 120º to one, two or three other simple root vectors. Compare the eight simple root
Page 13

the Tree of Life:

Each generator lies on one, two or three circles indicated by the integers 1, 2, & 3
above as the endpoint of a vertical or horizontal diameter. The simple root vector 3 is
unique in being orientated at 120º to three other simple root vectors. Similarly, the
generators located at Daath or Tiphareth in the Tree of Life are unique in being the
points of intersection of three circles. The following correspondence emerges between
the (7+1) simple root vectors of E 8 and the seven Sephiroth + Daath of the Tree of Life:

Notice that the unique root vector 3 corresponds to Tiphareth, which uniquely occupies
the centre of the Tree of Life both in a geometrical and in a metaphysical sense. This
analogy between the generators of the polygons enfolded in the Tree of Life and the
Dynkin diagram of the superstring group E8 should come as no surprise because, as we
have already seen, the group mathematics of superstrings reflects the geometrical
properties of the Divine Image, the cosmic paradigm of Creation.
SUMMARY
Physicists use the mathematical language of group theory to describe the symmetries
displayed by the four forces known to act between subatomic particles. Postulating that
these symmetries exist at every point in space-time requires the existence of so-called
gauge bosons. These are quantum particles, the exchange of which between particles
generates the force whose symmetry is described by the group in question. The number
of gauge bosons associated with a gauge symmetry group describing a given kind of
force is its dimension. Superstring theory predicts that the gauge symmetry group that
accounts for all the forces (other than gravity) acting between superstrings must have a
dimension of 496. The groups having this dimension are SO(32) and E 8×E8 , where E8 is
the so-called exceptional group with the largest dimension (248). A group is defined by
its roots, the number of which is equal to its dimension. Each root can be expressed in
terms of a set of so-called ‘simple roots,' which are depicted schematically by the
Dynkin diagram of the group. The simple roots characterizing a group can be
represented by finite straight lines that point in various directions in a mathematical
space. The Dynkin diagram specifies both the lengths of these lines and the angles
between them. Only four angles are possible: 90º, 120º, 135º & 150º. The number of
right angles between the lines in this space representing the simple roots of E 8 is 21, as
Page 14
Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)is the total number of angles between the lines representing the simple roots of E7 (a
group whose symmetries are part of the larger set of symmetries of E 8). The number of
right angles between the lines representing the simple roots of E7 is 15, as is the total
number of angles between the simple roots of E 6 (a group that belongs to E 8 as well).
Hence, the Godname numbers of Kether (21) and Chokmah (15) prescribe the very
gauge symmetry group (and two of its subgroups) that accounts for the unified force
between superstrings.
2. YAH & YAHWEH prescribe 248 & 496
The dimension 248 of E 8 and the dimension 496 of E 8×E8 and SO(32) are determined in
a purely arithmetic way by the two Godname numbers of Chokmah: YAH = 15 and
YAHWEH = 26. It is instructive to analyse these arithmetic prescriptions in some detail
because their existence is no fortuitous coincidence but, instead, arises from and
reflects the beautiful, geometrical properties of the inner form of the Tree of Life.
The sum of the squares of the first 15 integers is
1240 = 12 + 22 + 32 +… + 15 2.
This is a triangular array of integers 1–15. Therefore, 2480 (=2×1240) is the sum of a
16×16 square array of these integers shown in Fig. 1 with a diagonal of zeros

also encodes as non-zero integers its number of non-zero roots. The Pythagorean
Tetrad prescribes this arithmetic representation of the superstring parameter 248.
The identity:
4960 = 2×2480 = 4(12 + 22 + 32 +… + 15 2)
is represented in Fig. 2 by a cross pattée array of integers 1, 2, 3... 15. The cross is
made up of 480 integers, of which

Malkuth appears in the context of the representation of the dimension of the superstring
symmetry groups E 8×E8 and SO(32) with dimension 496. This cross pattée
representation of 4960 — the number of space-time components of the 496 gauge
particles predicted by superstring theory — encodes the number 480 of non-zero roots
of this group as the number of non-zero integers summing to 4960. Alternatively, a
31×31 square array of integers 1-15 in the form of a St. Andrews cross represents the
number 4960 (Fig. 3). This demonstrates how the Godname EL with number value 31
prescribes the number of components of the gauge fields of superstrings.
The number of YAHWEH defines the dimension 248 of E8 in the following way: using
the identity
6201 = 12 + 22 + 32 +… + 26 2,
then
24800 = 4×6200 = 4(22 + 32 +… + 262).
Fig. 4 shows the cross pattée representation of this number. 1400 integers are present.
The sum of the 296 integers forming the boundary of the cross is

where 331 is the 67th prime number, 67 being the number value of Binah. Observe
how, through this 4×4 square array representation, the Pythagorean Tetrad reveals that
the number of Binah — the Sephirah embodying the most abstract archetypes of form
— defines the shape of an archetypal pattern of numbers whose sum characterizes the
physics of superstrings! Since 24800 is the sum of 1400 integers, 49600 is the sum of
2800 integers, where
280
280 280
2800 =
280 280 280
280 280 280 280,
thus relating the second perfect number 28 to the third perfect number 496 as well as
the number 496 of Malkuth to the number value 280 of Sandalphon, its Archangel. All
these representations of 248 and 496 in terms of the two Godname numbers of
Chokmah have a four-fold, rotational symmetry: their appearance is unaltered by a
rotation of 90º. They illustrate the fundamental importance of the Pythagorean Tetrad in
expressing parameters of the Tree of Life.
3. Godnames of Hod & Netzach prescribe 248 & 496
It should not be supposed that only two of the ten Godname numbers prescribe the
dimensions of the superstring gauge symmetry groups E8, SO(32) and E8 ×E8. The
Godnames of all the Sephiroth participate in this prescription, their specificity increasing,
the lower the position of the Sephirah in the Tree of Life. As an example, we shall now
consider how the numbers of the Godnames YAHWEH SABAOTH of Netzach and
ELOHIM SABAOTH of Hod conspire to determine the numbers 248 and 496.
The identity
26
24800 =
Σ
(2n)2 = 42 + 62 + 82 +… + 522
n=2
can be written as follows in terms of the odd integers composing each square number in
this summation:
42 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7.
62 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11.
82 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15.
●
●
●
522 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 +...+ 101 + 103.
Adding,
24800 = 25(1+3+5+7) + 24(9+11) + 23(13+15) +... + 1(101+103).
The number 24800 is the sum of a stack of 26 pairs of odd integers, the base of which
comprises 25 ‘1's and the apex of which is the number 103. Fig. 5 shows two similar

155th SL
Figure 5
Page 20
Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)stacks placed side by side to represent the number 49600. The reason why they are
depicted as inverted will be given shortly. The base of the pair of stacks consists of 50
‘1's. The height and width of the pair of stacks is prescribed by the numbers of,
respectively, YAHWEH and ELOHIM. The range of integers is specified by the number
103, which is the number of SABAOTH ("Hosts"). Each stack is prescribed by YAHWEH
SABAOTH, whilst both stacks are prescribed by ELOHIM SABAOTH. This is how these
two Godnames define patterns of integers adding up to 24800 and 49600. Ignoring the
factor of 100, which merely reflects the 10-dimensional nature of superstring spacetime, we see that the number 496 naturally splits up into two 248s, reproducing what
mathematicians call the "direct product" of two similar E 8 groups with dimension 248.
These Godnames prescribe in an arithmetic way the E8 ×E8 heterotic superstring.
The number of yods in the n-tree (the lowest n Trees of Life) with all their triangles
turned into tetractyses is given by
Y(n ) = 50n + 30.
The 49-tree represents what Theosophists call the ‘cosmic physical plane,’ each Tree
mapping one of its 49 subplanes. It has Y(49) = 2480 yods. This is the number of
space-time components of the 248 10-dimensional gauge fields of E8. It can be
expressed as the sum
4
2480 =
4
Σ
t n + ΣTn ,
n=0
n=1
where
tn =
4n
3n 3n

1n 1n 1n 1n
and
Tn =
1n
2n 2n
3n 3n 3n
4n 4n 4n 4n.
It is remarkable that the number of integers in each stack summing to 24800 is
3
700 =
Σ(tn + Tn),
n=1
which is the number of yods in ten separate Trees of Life whose triangles are
tetractyses. As well as illustrating the basic designing role of the Pythagorean Decad,
this shows how yods can denote things such as numbers when they collectively define
a Tree of Life parameter like the number 248.
The column of numbers on the right-hand side of Fig. 5 is the running total of the
integers in successive rows of either stack, addition commencing from the top row.
Three partial sums are multiples of 100. The first two rows sum to 100, the first four
rows sum to 400 and the first 36 rows add to 18800, after which a further 72 integers in
16 rows sum to 6000, making a total of 24800. The Godname number 36 of Geburah
specifies a point in the summation of rows of integers yielding a partial sum that is a
multiple of 100. Being specified by the number of a Godname, this stage has
significance vis-à-vis the Tree of Life, as we now explain. There are 103 stages of
descent of the Lightning Flash from Kether of the 25th tree, which, as the 155th SL, is
prescribed by the Godname ADONAI MELEKH of Malkuth. The first stage of descent
reaches Hod of the 26th tree, the 153rd SL specified by ELOHIM SABAOTH with
number value 153. By comparing stages of descent of the Lightning Flash in the 26-tree
Page 21
Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)shown on the left in Fig. 5 with the integers 1, 3, 5... 103, it will be seen that, for
example, the 9th and 11th stages of descent occur at the Lower Face of the 24th tree,
the 13th and 15th stages occur at the Lower Face of the 23rd tree, etc. In other words,
the integers in the paired rows of the stacks are, simply, the numbers of stages of
descent of the Lightning Flash in successive trees. The 71st stage of descent, at which
the running sum of the first 36 rows of integers is 18800, reaches Chesed of the eighth
tree, which is the 49th SL in the Cosmic Tree of Life. The Godname number of Yesod
specifies the row where the partial sum is a multiple of 100 and therefore of possible
physical significance. This is why we have considered an inverted stack of integers.
The summation of odd integers given above leading to the number 24800 has a simple
interpretation vis-à-vis the 26-tree that is the counterpart of 26-dimensional space-time.
Noting that: 1 + 3 = 2×2, 5 + 7 = 2×6, 9 + 11 = 2×10, etc., 24800 can be written:
24800 = 50×2 + 50×6 + 48×10 + 46×14 +... + 4×98 + 2×102
25
= 50×2 +
Σ
2n(106 – 4n).
n=1
Yesod of the nth tree is the 2nth SL on the central pillar. The Lightning Flash descends
in (4n–3) stages from this SL. So the number of stages of descent from Kether of the
25th tree to this SL = 103 – (4n–3) = 106 – 4n. The sum
25
24700 =
Σ
2n(106 – 4n)
n=1
is the sum of the numbers of SLs on the central pillar up to Yesod of each successive
tree, each number being weighted with the number of stages of descent of the Lightning
Flash from the 155th SL specified by ADONAI MELEKH to that Yesod. The additional
term 50×2 is the product of the number (50) of SLs on the central pillar up to Yesod of
the 25th tree and the number (2) of stages of descent of the Lightning Flash from the
155th SL to Yesod of the 26th (not the 25th) tree. Its difference from the other terms
correlates with the fact that the 26th tree is the counterpart of the dimension of time,
whereas lower trees correspond to dimensions of space.
The sum of the (700+700) integers in the two stacks is
49600 =
10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
100 = 10 2 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43
This 10-fold array of integers 1–100 is a beautiful illustration of how the Pythagorean
Decad and integers 1, 2, 3 & 4 define this superstring number. The sum of the rows of
the twenty-five ‘1's and twenty-five ‘3's = 100 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43. The number of integers
5-103 in the 50 remaining rows of a stack is

This illustrates the Tetrad Principle, through which archetypal patterns of numbers such

Σ(1n + 2n + 3n + 4n).
n=1
The number of integers on the edge of each stack is 76, demonstrating how the
Godname number of Tiphareth also defines the number 24800. It is remarkable that the
sum of the 152 integers on the boundary of both stacks is 5456 because this is the sum
of the first 31 triangular numbers. This shows how the Godname EL of Chesed with
number value 31 prescribes the pattern of integers generating the number 24800.
Another way of seeing how ELOHIM, the Godname of Binah, prescribes the number
24800 and thus the dimension 248 of the superstring symmetry group E8 is as follows:
any square number n 2 is the sum of the (n–1)th and (n+1)th triangular numbers
because
n2 = ½(n–1)n + n(n+1).
Applying this property to the squares of the 25 integers 4, 6, 8... 52:
42 = 6 + 10.
62 = 15 + 21.
82 = 28 + 36.
●
●
●
522 = 1326 + 1378.
The sum:
24800 = 42 + 62 + 82 + ... + 522
Page 23
Voir dans le PDF(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)is the sum of the first 50 triangular numbers after 3. Therefore, the number of ELOHIM
prescribes the number 248 as the ‘kernel’ of 24800. Since 24800 = 496×50, the crucial
dimension 496 of any gauge symmetry group that is free of quantum anomalies is the
arithmetic mean of the first 50 triangular numbers after 3. This is the remarkable way in
which ELOHIM prescribes the number of gauge fields that mediate the unified
superstring interaction.
Finally, the number 155 of the Godname of Malkuth is related by the Pythagorean
Tetrad to the number 248 by
×248.
155 = 1+2+3+4
42
In other words, a 4×4 square array of the number value of ADONAI MELEKH generates
the 2480 space-time components of the 10-dimensional fields of the 248 gauge bosons
of E8 . This fact demonstrates the profound Pythagorean principle whereby the Tetrad
and its geometrical symbol — the square — define the basic, physical properties of
nature.
