N2 - We argue that the exceptional field theory is a truncation of the nonlinear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 and its first fundamental as proposed in 2003. Evaluating the simple equations of the E11 approach, and using the commutators of the E11 algebra, we find the local variations of the fields of exceptional field theory after making a radical truncation. This procedure does not respect any of the higher level E11 symmetries and so these are lost. We suggest that the need for the section condition in the exceptional field theory could be a consequence of the truncation.
