Unfortunately, there is currently insufficient data (i.e. actual measurements) to allow any proper comparison between the possible designing and determination of the dimensions of one pyramid and its passages and chambers with another.

Anthony, please can you give an example of what you mean by “a cultural context” here?
The floor plan of the King’s Chamber seems to be a 2x1 or 1x2 rectangle, but which or what “cultural context” tells us this was intentional?

Anthony, I fail to see how it is for you tell another person that what they are doing is a waste of their time.
Each and every pyramid was planned by an architect/designer using some forms of arithmetic and geometry.
Therefore, it is perfectly possible for somebody somewhere to discover (given sufficient raw data and a knowledge of what is known about Egyptian mathematics and what can be extrapolated from it) what the intended plan was likely to have been.
Of course each and every pyramid must be viewed in its full and proper historical context, but this does not mean that any mathematical pattern detected in the exterior and or interior dimensions of any one of them should be ignored because of a lack of “cultural context” (however that may be defined).
Tim has found a recurring mathematical pattern (the application of 9/79ths or equivalent of in unit fractions, etc.) in some of the dimensions of Khufu’s pyramid.
For reasons much too long for me to go into here, I happen to believe, repeat believe, that what Tim has uncovered, so to speak, was not intended by the Pyramid’s architect/designer.
However, I firmly believe that through knowing how a pyramid and its interior was designed we can learn more about the thinking behind it.
So, I say to Tim: ignore those who don’t, won’t or can’t see mathematics as an integral part of the pyramids and their history, and keep going with your research into the design and dimensions of Khufu’s pyramid – who knows where it may lead …
To Anthony I say: with every maths-based theory about the design and dimensions of Khufu’s pyramid that gets crossed off (reasonably) the list, we get one step closer to knowing more about the thinking behind it.
Now, that can’t be bad, can it.
