who would design a simulation that includes irrational numbers (pi etc)? the goal of creating an artificial reality would certainly include the ability to have absolutely accurate measurements and values for everything. easier from a computational point of view as why waste computing power unnecessarily.

cant have rounding errors in the universe. its, well, untidy, as well as being inconvenient.

Maybe the goal is to see how we would deal with such things, Pi is not only irrational its transcendental, but it's properties are beautiful. Pi and e could be eastereggs for us to find!

someone wrote a book about a message embedded into pi after some ridiculous amount of digits, had plans for some machine or something. carl sagan maybe?

the ultimate easter egg for sure.

I just had a quick google search, Carl Sagan, Contact I'm gonna check that out for sure!

Thanks
