Constant coincidences

Dave, have you been able to come up with a reason for these coincidences? They appear to be geometric relationships. Square roots are indicative of a phase relationship between two different geometries.
For example, in a recent conversation with Doug, he reminded me of the old solution to the Pythagorean "square number" problem, where the hypotenuse of a right triangle of side = 1 was the sqrt(2), which was an irrational number and incompatible with the Pythagorean take on numbers.
The solution was that it was actually a square of side = 2, 22, and the hypotenuse was just one side of the inscribed square of 4 diagonals, the length being the inverse measure of 21/2. So it could be represented with whole numbers, that number being the relationships of 2. The only time it became irrational was when the inverse measure was viewed in the perspective of the original measure, not from its own perspective.
With the use of square roots in the constants, it looks like something similar going on where the "inscribed" geometry is that of time, related to the circumscribed geometry of space.
Have you investigated these constants using complex numbers, since i is a rotational operator? The imaginary component might give a clearer picture of where the constants originate.
