This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

  • Difficult to evaluate, with potential yellow flags. We are sorry about this, but, unfortunately this content has some yellow-flags that historically have usually indicated kinda crackpot-esque material. It's totally plausible that actually this one is totally fine. Unfortunately, part of the trouble with separating valuable from confused speculative science or philosophy is that the ideas are quite complicated, accurately identifying whether they have flaws is very time intensive, and we don't have time to do that for every new user presenting a speculative theory or framing (which are usually wrong).

    Our solution for now is that we're rejecting this post, but you are welcome to submit posts or comments that are about different topics. If it seems like that goes well, we can re-evaluate the original post. But, we want to see that you're not just here to talk about this one thing (or a cluster of similar things).

  • No LLM generated, heavily assisted/co-written, or otherwise reliant work. LessWrong has recently been inundated with new users submitting work where much of the content is the output of LLM(s). This work by-and-large does not meet our standards, and is rejected. This includes dialogs with LLMs that claim to demonstrate various properties about them, posts introducing some new concept and terminology that explains how LLMs work, often centered around recursiveness, emergence, sentience, consciousness, etc. Our LLM-generated content policy can be viewed here.

Geometry has always treated π as a given — a fundamental constant embedded in the formulas of circles. But what if π is not a primitive, but a product? What if it can emerge naturally from a more fundamental geometric structure?My name is Muhammad Gashi, an independent researcher driven by conceptual inquiry. I recently completed and published a paper that proposes a new formulation of circular geometry: one that does not use π at all.

Instead, this methodology — which I call the "Gashi Methodology" — derives the essential equations of the circle using only the sine function and a triangle-based geometric model.

Because it views the circle as the limit of triangular construction, π is not an input, but rather an output — an emergent numerical result of internal structure.

This insight leads to a more profound philosophical observation:

“The circle is never constructed — only approached.”
I propose: The circle is a concept, not a constructed reality.

From the laws of "Gashi Methodology":

C = R × sin(θ) × (360° / θ)

π = (sin(θ) × (360° / θ)) / 2
