Monster group poster
$begingroup$
I have seen a number of questions here on how to intuitively understand the Monster Group. My questions is, is there a way one can create an image or series of images suitable for putting on a poster that gives a feel for the 'shape' of a geometric representation of the Monster Group. My thought is along the lines of the following example. If one were to take multiple two dimensional slices of a 3 or 4 dimensional polytope and placed those slices in a matrix of images, one could kind of understand what the higher dimensional shape is. Would that be feasible for the Monster group?

Well, the smallest dimension of a faithful representation is 196883, so... how big's your poster?
