Greetings,

PI - I draw a small circle in the palm of my hand - I hold the key to infinity, and yet it is too simple - so I strive for more

PHI - Now this I cannot comprehend - Yet I know it is of more relevance, and possible reverance - for this I cannot hold

How I know this - A Maker has taught me.

By drawing a circle you don't get Pi - you just get a circle. Pi is the relation of width (diameter) of this circle to length of its circumference. Can you estimate its value by just looking at circle?..

Phi is actually way more easier, it is just a relation of splitting a whole into two parts, so relation of bigger part to lower part is the same as relation of the whole to bigger part.

If you take a diameter of a circle as a line, you can't simply linearize Pi on the same axis to compare it to diameter, while doing it with Phi is very easy.

Besides, Pi is used in quite a lot of calculations. And Phi?.. Well, I am just a soldier, not a scientist, but I can't think about even a single equation where Phi is used, other than being just a mathematical construct.

(In other words, compared to Pi, Phi is practically useless)

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

In other words, you don't understand Pi at all. The Pi is the link between the diameter and the circumference. What is the value that allows the diameter to be used to calculate the circumference?

Pi!

Face it. You just don't comprehend Maths. You can go around using your Trigonometry nonsense to prove otherwise, but I doubt you can visualise any of that and probably just copied it from somewhere.
