I think it's ~248. More infolding than outfolding, if that makes sense? I was incorrect about it not aligning with gauge theory, but correct about the proposed extension to gauge theory SO(5,1). The notion of E8's ontological leap from 4D to 8D (octonions) also seems justified.
The key question it poses seems to be: What came first, geometry or number theory? E8 argues for geometry.
