Dec 8, 2018 at 2:14 comment added Sam Hopkins @RichardLyons: very good point. I think what I should’ve said is that if the roots form a simple system for the intersection of the root system with the subspace they span, then they are part of a simple system for the whole root system.

Dec 7, 2018 at 15:15 comment added Sam Hopkins I don't think it can possibly be transitive: if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are orthogonal, then $w\cdot \alpha$ and $w\cdot\beta$ will have to be orthogonal too.
