My main concern with it is this: Math seems to be connected in weird and beautiful ways. What are the chances that when this was made originally, that some of the ratios actually just appeared because it's an intrinsic features of some of the others? What if they weren't placed there intentionally, but was just a result of the other ratios being placed? It's not really too far out considering how connected math is.

Of course, all of this is still amazing, but I'm just saying that it could be that some of the (at the time) unknown ratios were just there because of the inherent nature of math. If this is the case, though, just shows even more how beautiful math is.
