This allows anyone to build a golden ratio divider of any size at all.

Sorry, Morris, but I don't agree. Consider the attached -- the ratio is not
fixed at 1:0.618, but instead depends on how far the diagonals (indicated in
red) are produced from the square.


But, once the dividers are constructed of a length to give the fixed
ratio, will the ratio remain the same when the dividers are opened or
closed? That will be the important point.
