Many theories for the skill of Tiwanaku's architectural construction have been proposed. One is that they used a luk’ a, which is a standard measurement of about sixty centimeters. Another argument is for the Pythagorean Ratio. This idea calls for right triangles at a ratio of five to four to three used in the gateways to measure all parts. Lastly, Protzen and Nair argue that Tiwanaku had a system set for individual elements dependent on context and composition. This is shown in the construction of similar gateways ranging from diminutive to monumental size, proving that scaling factors did not affect proportion. With each added element, the individual pieces were shifted to fit together.[22]

The cosmic diagram has six parts. On the top is a "crossed bands" motif in a square, surrounded by thirteen nubs. The crossed bands are associated with sky or center (or sky-center) in most symbol systems of Mesoamerica. Thirteen reinforces the notion of sky, since there are thought to be multiple levels of the heavens in most Mesoamerican cultures. Below the "crossed bands" is a three-branched object with vegetation on the ends of the branches. This is most likely a representation of the World Tree (Cosmic Tree) that unites the levels of the cosmos. Flanking the World Tree are four ovals, which probably symbolize maize kernels or the four directions and their associated colors. Below the World Tree is a stepped motif that likely represents a mountain, pyramid-temple, or ancestor symbols. The curved element is analogous to the jaws of the earth, and the two vertical shapes may represent raindrops at the Three-Stone-Place, the center of the night sky. The three dots at the bottom of the composition are the most enigmatic part of the composition, and may refer to the number three symbolically. Ultimately, this plaque records the story of creation: it shows the World Tree sprouting out of Creation Mountain. The tree represents the renewed sky; the mountain represents the renewed earth; and the Three-Stone-Place represents the hearth, the place of First Father's rebirth as Maize.
