LaTeX Typesetting a tricky matrix in LaTeX

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on typesetting a partitioned 8x8 matrix in LaTeX, specifically addressing the challenge of making a 4x4 matrix T span the rows and columns of the overall structure. The user has provided a visual representation of the matrix, detailing the arrangement of submatrices I, 0, A, B, C, and D, each being 2x2 matrices, alongside the larger matrix T. The main inquiry is about finding an elegant solution in LaTeX to achieve the desired layout without parentheses, while ensuring that T integrates seamlessly within the matrix format. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity and precision in LaTeX typesetting for complex matrix structures.

I am trying to typeset the attached partitioned 8x8 matrix in LaTeX. I have drawn it without the parentheses with the columns and rows numbered. Submatrices I, 0, A, B, C, and D are 2X2 matrices while T is a 4X4 matrix. The main trouble I have is getting T to span the rows and columns. Is there any elegant way to do this in LaTeX?? Thank you!
