There is no particular justification to add *φ* the solution to *x*² = *x* + 1 (or if you like the ratio of diagonal to side of a pentagon) that wouldn’t equally apply to the solution of a dozen similar algebraic equations. For example, you could just as well add the ratios between diagonals of a heptagon http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf Or you could add these generalized higher-dimensional analogs http://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-quasirandom-sequences/ It’s all unnecessary. If designers care in practice about using a high-precision approximation to *φ* it is trivial for them to add for themselves. But for practical purposes in design a 3-digit approximation 1.62 is indistinguishable. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jrus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4702#issuecomment-583905437 using your GitHub account
