-T also stayed constant throughout the ages, having a similar representation in most scripts.
G=T, so new aspects to FIRST which may involve more non-engineering ideas (art?)
There has to be some reason that they're the same, so if the above isn't it, it has to be something else, there's no way the GDC would just do it randomly.

That one's been explained already. The cipher is based on pi, with every 2 digits corresponding to one letter of the alphabet. As it happens, arranging in alphabetical order makes G and T both correspond to 97
