 is written, as you can explain the construction a bit better than just
 "some orbit will work". I don't mind either way.

 "some orbit will work", as it is a rank 3 permutation representation of
 `M_{24}`.
 You can refer to Conway et al. Atlas of Finite Group. It was certainly
 well-known long before the reference you provide.

 It's also mind-boggling the way it is given, that it works. In fact, it's
 a property of the extended Golay code (i.e.
 `sage.coding.code_constructions.ExtendedBinaryGolayCode()`), that it only
 has words of length 0,8,12,16, and 24), so you can relate the graph
 vertices to certain 1288 partitions of the 24-set into 12+12, with
 `M_{24}` acting in the natural way (`onSetsSets` ?).

 You work with the shorter (length 23) code, on which `M_{24}` acts as a
 linear group, so this is less transparent.
