John,
What is "energy creation"? I thought that, in accord with the fundamental
laws of conservation, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. What has Pi
got to do with that? And how can a mathematical circle be imperfect? Also,
please explain what Law (other than the laws of pure arithmetic and geometry)
determines the nature of Pi -- which is the ratio between the radius and
circumference of a mathematically perfect circle.
As for "the Absolute," I thought that only refers to the unknown, infinitely
potential, unconditioned ground out of which everything (all conditioned forms
of energy or force) initially appears. The noumena of a manifest circle
would, therefore, have to be a perfect circle of force around a zero-point of no
directional dimensions. At the first and smallest radial expansion of any line
of that force -- the potential ratio of the radius to the circumference, Pi,
therefore, could be considered as an absolute preconditioned aspect of the
"Absolute."
