The discovery of fracton states of matter opens up an exciting, largely unexplored field of many-body physics. Certain fracton states' similarity to gravity is an intriguing property. In an earlier work [Phys. Rev. B 99, 155126 (2019)10.1103/PhysRevB.99.155126], we have demonstrated that a simple fracton model in anti-de Sitter space satisfies several major holographic properties. In this follow-up paper, we study the eight-vertex model dual to the original model. The dual model has the advantage of illuminating the mutual information and subsystem charges pictorially, which helps to reveal its connections to various other topics in the study of holography and fracton phases. At zero temperature, the dual eight-vertex model is a discrete realization of the bit-thread model, a powerful tool developed to visualize holography. The bit-thread picture combined with subsystem charges can give a quantitative account of the isometry between the bulk and the boundary at finite energy, which is also a key issue for holography. The black hole microscopic degrees of freedom can be identified in this picture, which turn out to be encoded nonlocally on the horizon. The eight-vertex model proves to be a very helpful venue to improve our understanding of the hyperbolic fracton model as a toy model of holography.
