That's an interesting question. There is a max digits of Pi possibly calculable within this universe. Then there are the max digits calculated somewhere on some alien planet having the most powerful computer. But a full infinite Pi cannot ever be represented; AFAIK maybe it can multi-versly or something? What matters is the symbol Pi is passed around among conscious agents. You could read it from a book but a conscious agent originally wrote it. Pi can be re-represented with Zenil's entropy-deceiving graphs since it can be mathematically described in so many ways. And the symbol represents calculations to be done and already done (but never the full string length). It’s an activator in a distributed system of human brains, it has symbol negentropy and graphtropy. What a perfect candidate for further research... ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T8eabd59f2f06cc50-Mf696795d18da8411b748ce16 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
