David Hilbert famously argued that infinity cannot exist in physical reality. The consequence of this statement — still debated today — has far-reaching implications.
We would say that the facets of infinity within the four primary irrational numbers, all qualitative, bind the relation between the finite and infinite and it is always active. Yes, continuity, symmetry and harmony of pi bind the universe as a whole operating system.
