Has anyone considered the role of entasis in the way the proportions are perceived?

In reply to Anonymous. It's not backwards. It's just expressed differently than you understood. The ratio of 1 to 1.5 is the same as 2 to 3. The ratio of 1 to 1.6667 is the same as 3 to 5. You were looking at just the 1.5 versus 2/3 and just the 1.6667 vs 3/5 and thinking the fractions were flipped. I appreciate your attention to detail and feedback though.

Anyone else notice how in the picture with the designs and the different ratios the 2/3 and 3/5 were backwards?

In reply to Ananya. Thanks. Great image with lots of detail, but unfortunately it doesn't have the dimensions of the 15 rectangles with 3 lines each that go across the top. Anyone have those dimensions?
