minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI’m pretty sure a base-Pi counting system would mean that Pi is π, not 1. You’d count π, 2π, 3π, 4π, and so on. It doesn’t change reality, just the way you count and represent numbers. I might be off, but it’s definitely not π = 1.
minus-squarejanAkali@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoYou still think in 1-based system, Pi unit * Pi unit is Pi of Pi units or 3.14159… Pi units. Also, Pi unit / Pi unit is 1/Pi Pi units or 0.318309886183790… Pi units…
