Just because it's possible to endlessly perform an operation doesn't mean that this operation has to be endlessly performed in order to exist.
Would you say the fact you can repeatedly add 1 to a number endlessly is evidence a world with a concept of addition isn't simulated?
Pi works in a similar way. You can repeatedly perform an operation endlessly that more closely approximates the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter e.g. pic related. Just because there isn't a limitation on how many times you can perform an operation doesn't mean it's necessary to have performed that operation an infinite number of times in order for it to exist as a concept in an artificial world.
