Intuiting the essence of pi. Quickly we ran into the closed-or-open universe debates. So, we postulate that the universe is finite and infinity is mostly other. We postulate that infinity is the source for pi and the other dimensionless constants such that pi reaches between the finite and the infinite. Then, we postulate that pi’s first finite manifestation is a primordial sphere — the first sphere and first thing in the universe.
Our first discussion about the issue was confusing. We were bouncing back and forth. Joseph Silk and his team were quite compelling. That discussion opens here: https://81018.com/the-three/#diValentino
