Mathematics aside, it's been a long time since I read the 2001 series (2001,
2010, 2061, 3001), but I recall that in one of 'em, there's a statement with
the idea that the monolith is based on squares starting at 1, and the thought
went on to say that the monolith didn't stop at the 3rd digit (or third
dimension, being 3^2 = 9), that the properites of the monolith went on above
the third dimension, still using the value of sqares (16, 25, etc...)

Right.  My point was that the Greek Golden ratio has nothing to do with the
proportions of the monolith.
