Start with 440 and 280
The conventional dimensions reduce half-base to height as 220:280 or 11:14. This one right triangle controls face angle, slant height, perimeter-height ratio, and seked.
The comparisons
Perimeter divided by height becomes 44/7, close to 2π. Slant divided by half-base becomes close to φ. Horizontal run per seven palms of rise is exactly 5½ in the model.
What the fit proves
It proves the geometry of the model and the closeness of the comparisons. It does not independently prove three design intentions. A practical slope choice can generate all outcomes, which is why historical attribution must do work beyond arithmetic.
