Circles only exist in our imagination.
The more sides you add to a circle the more circular it becomes. The more points, or atoms, you utilise in your circle the more circular the shape becomes.
The most primitive ‘circle’; aka a triangle.
Add one to the number of sides and you have a square.
Add more and now it starts to resemble what we tend to think of as a circle. Not quite but on the way.
Add more, 100 more, and it fools us into accepting it as a circle.
You can add as many ‘sides’ or points to your potential circle as you like. Millions, billions until you run out of information/points in the universe. This explains why pi π is transcendental – a number that goes on forever 3.14159….
You can run your finger around the path of any circle, and you will return to where you started. Unlike a line or zigzag.
So begins the journey towards understanding the parallel between money, rainbows, circles, time and animal consciousness. All these things we can imagine, perceive, feel inside of us, be aware of, process, but not hold in our hand. None of these things ‘exist’.
