...a funny issue i have with pi and all discussions revolving around such is
that either pi exists or an absolute circle exist in real terms. if you
make a circle based on plugging in Pi, you'll just get a spiral. since Pi
is real, we must confront the fact that a true circle cant really
exist....which wouldnt be a problem if it werent supposedly a physical
'thing'. a theoretical circle is pretty much pointless not to mention
redundant whilst regarding Pi's existence. Pi 'IS' plato's circle....much
as the worms ARE the spice i suppose;)

p.s. if there is no circle, yin and yang will probably sue the
intergalactic commision of physical metaphors! ...but how will they find
representation?
