The ratio PI and "the sum of the whole is greater than its parts"
 
  Earlier in this chapter, we mentioned the concept of Pi p (the ratio p 3.1416) and explained its existence in terms of the laws of creation (Aeons) and the imperfection of the circular motion of UCA to create UNITA.  
  We considered that because of this, Pi can be seen as a perfect infinite ratio of imperfection, contained in all things, because all things are affected from the very smallest to the largest by this imperfection.  
  Now it is time to consider an even greater and related understanding to the importance and symbolism of Pi.  
5.21.1 The "extra bit" of Pi  
  As we discussed, when you look at a circle with your eye, the ratio of its diameter (line through the middle connecting two sides) and its circumfrence (outer rim) seems to be 1:3, not 1:3.1416 which is Pi.  
  While no mathematician disputes the validity of Pi, this "extra bit" (.1416 etc) has perplexed philosophers and mathematicians for millenia. The problem is that this extra bit appears in the creation of a circle. The minute a circle is broken and becomes a line, the extra bit (.1416....8) also disappears. In one sense, we have explained a physical reason at the level of the Unita for the existence of Pi- the unique path dilemma. Yet without strong philosophical and mathematical proof, this answer on its own is inadequate.  
5.21.2 How Pi was proven- the "squaring" of a circle  
  Before we reveal the underlying philosophical and Eikos (mathematical) understanding of Pi, it is time to briefly explain how Pi was derived and what it means.  
  Pi was derived by taking a circle and placing it in a perfect square and then drawing chords from its centre and then measuring the difference of distance. The addition of the pieces added up to a rough number, compared to the diameter- Pi. In other words, Pi was discovered by the infinite division of a circle.  
  Therefore Pi, by literal definition is the collective knowledge measurement of squaring a circle.  
  Now, if we consider the measurement by precision equipment and computers, we have established that the more perfect the circle, the greater the ratio of Pi, to several decimal places.  
  In other words, the closer we get to perfect shape, the more perfect the ratio of imperfection.  
5.21.3 Pi = The sum of the whole is greater than its parts  
  Pi represents the living embodiment of the understanding the sum of the whole is greater than its parts- that it is better to be more than one than one. The power of geometric strength. We can now summarise the relationship of Pi in the following understandings:  
  Pi = The sum of the whole is greater than its parts.  
  Pi = unique sum of infinite division of circle;  
  Pi= unique collective awareness of dividion of circle  
  Pi= unique collective awareness  
  Pi ultimately represents the living existence of UCA and the power of perfect imperfection. That through death, life comes. Life itself is imperfect because of death. But without death, there is no life.  
  Anyone who has studied Pi- anyone that believes in the truth of mathematics believes in the truth of the existence of UCA whether they have previously realised it or not.
