The idea behind this bracing really just comes sitting down with some paper and pencils and attempting to draw a pattern that makes intuitive sense. Some of the key elements I consider are an even distribution of support, a unified/connected bracing centered around the bridge, and of course balancing out the forces exerted on the top by the string tension. I think there are many ways to do this -- this just happens to be the one I came up with and have been experimenting with recently!
