1. Anthropometric Sourcing
The ratios used in this tool are derived from established biomechanical data. Humanoid proportions utilize averages from NASA-STD-3000 and the Drillis & Contini (1966) Body Segment Parameter studies (e.g., the femur consistently averages ~26.8% of total height). Quadruped proportions map to standard veterinary morphology for *Canis lupus*.
2. Linear Scaling
To find the total size, the tool takes your raw measurement and divides it by the known anatomical ratio.
Total Height = Measurement / Part Ratio
3. The Square-Cube Law (Volumetric Mass)
While length scales linearly (1D), mass scales by volume (3D). If an entity is 10 times taller than a human, it is 1,000 times heavier (10³). This is why the mass numbers scale so aggressively into the thousands of tons.
Mass = Baseline Mass × (Scale Factor)³
