I’ve never been familiar enough with group-theory stuff to memorize the names (which, warning, also might mean that it will take you a lot of time to write a sufficiently-dumbed-down version), but the internet suggests ~Iso(n,1) is related to… the Minkowski metric? I would be flabbergasted to learn that something so specific-to-our-universe was relevant to this toy mathematical contraption.
I thank you for your effort! I am currently missing a lot of the mathematical background necessary to make that post make sense, but I will revisit it if I find myself with the motivation to learn!

I wrote up my explanation as its own post here: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LpcEstrPpPkygzkqd/fractals-to-quasiparticles
