But you haven't provided any definition about what are, or aren't, relevant structures.
If we look at the various structures at Giza, there are the main pyramids (G1, G2, and G3); mortuary temples; valley temples; north chapels (which were located at the pyramid entrances/exits); causeways (Khufu's causeway changed direction twice); subsidiary pyramids (which seem to have fallen into two categories: so-called cult pyramids, which
don't seem to have been used for actual burials; and so-called queens'pyramids, which
were used for actual burials of members of the royal family); boat pits; and temenos walls around
the main pyramids (these walls were seven or eight metres high).
According to Lehner, all of the above are "relevant structures" (
Complete Pyramids: 18-19, "The Standard Pyramid Complex"). The main pyramids were just part of the whole Giza complex; there is no justification for extracting them from their context, and treating them in isolation from the other structures.
Again, I refer you to what the actual requirements for what you term an "acid test" would be:

Clearly, although you say that you read Mathematics at university, you don't seem to understand the nature of proof. Your theory isn't
predicting anything, because all that you're doing is finding a fit for an existing set of dimensions. The Web is brimming with so-called "plans of Giza" that all seek to do the same. But the mere ability to construct geometric figures using certain points doesn't in itself mean that human intention was originally responsible for the placement of those points.
