The permutation group on N elements is the (N-1)dimensional simplex (1:point, 2:line, 3:triangle, 4:tetrahedron, ....)

So every finite group is isomorphic to a subgroup of a N dimensional simplex? And then we should build our intuition about these groups via a geometric visualization? These are not rhetorical questions, I'm currently learning abstract algebra and trying to understand.
