Archimedes constant: A philosophical exegesis

By Elisabeth Balthasar

This book represents a free-spirited, non scientific approach and common interpretation. The attempt to fill the apparent arbitrariness with a philosophical narrative and create an example of causality between the antagonistic. A fine line between profoundness and irrelevance.

Contains about 100.000 decimal digits of the Archimedes' constant.

Prologue

This book represents a free-spirited, nonscientific approach and common interpretation. The artistic attempt to fill the apparent arbitrariness with a philosophical narrative and create an example of causality between the antagonistic. It is a simple work of intellectual stimulation combined with prose exposition of the mathematical component.

A fine line between profoundness and irrelevance.

The Archimedes’ constant represents the ratio of a circle's scope to its diameter in euclidean space. Its roughly defined as 3.14159, but its exact value cannot be expressed as a fraction. Widely used in geometry, trigonometry, and physics, the Archimedes’ constant plays a crucial role in calculating measurements related to circles and circular motion. It has been studied and approximated for centuries, with advancements in computation continually revealing more decimal places of its infinite, non-repeating sequence.

Chapter 1: Orbis

The Archimedes constant is inextricably connected to the symbol of the circle and the associated implication of the elusive nature of reality, which revelatory runs its course through the lines of the mathematical essence.

The Orbis represents a perfect unity that shows the striving for harmony right down to the roots of existence. Diametrically opposed to the ideal reflected in the for rm is the confused structure of the assume ed coincidence ad infinitum.
