I have not read anything yet saying that the sides of the monoliths are of the correct 1:4:9 ratios. Enquiring minds want to know.
How naive to think that the sequence ends there...
Given implementation in ordinary steel instead of some sort of exotic matter or congealed space-time, and that they missed the first three dimensional ratios, I really doubt that they had a shot at keeping the sequence going.
Just a quote from one of the novels (I think the original)
It most certainly was - from the first book.
Thanks.
