    iirc it can potentially make sense in the event that our universe turns out to be simulated and subject to floating point errors.

      Nah, pi arises purely from math, it doesn’t depend on the universe. The number we call pi would still be an irrational number even if the universe is a simulation that uses a rational approximation of pi.
