In your illustration the shape merely approaches the shape of the circle, with the edges multiplying in number and approaching the same radius, they will never be exactly the same distance, thus regardless of how many steps you take, you won't come any closer to having a circle.

What if we've been wrong about PI this entire time?

 >> Anonymous Fri Oct 4 06:47:37 2019 No.11030924 >>11030895Pi was historically defined not as the ratio of two lengths (circumference over diameter), but by the "method of exhaustion", which involves squeezing the area in between an inscribed and exscribed polygon. Unlike length, the measure of area is well-defined (in 2D Euclidean space at least), so such issues don't arise.By the way, the OP's use of a curved shape (circle) rather than straight lines is a red herring; the same paradox can be simulated in "Pythagorean" geometry (see >>11030127).
 >> Anonymous Fri Oct 4 06:54:43 2019 No.11030931 >>11030924Actually, scratch the part about the area measure being well-defined unlike length, I don't think that's formally correct.Nonetheless, the point still stands that in the Euclidean plane, you can't hide away "infinitesimal pockets of area" the way you can for path lengths.
 >> Anonymous Fri Oct 4 07:03:58 2019 No.11030938 >>11030874>>11030921No, that's not a good explanation for what's going on. You can inscribe a regular n-polygon in the circle and as n increases, the perimeter will approach that of the circle (pi). The shapes will also never be exactly the same distance, so your "thus" doesn't follow at all.What's actually happening is that in the euclidean space, we know how to calculate the distance of line segments but not of arbitrary shapes. We do have, however, a nice class of curves that we can calculate the length of in a very simple way - called rectifiable curves. We just connect points of the curve by lines and take the supremum of lengths such simpler curves. The circle is a rectifiable curve and the length turns out to be 2 pi r from this definition. The OP is an example of how careful you have to actually be about defining the length of a complex curve (that's not made out of line segments), and how different ways to define it lead to different lengths. Also, now that I think about it, the taxicab sort of length is probably also well defined for rectifiable curves, which will also be a type of length. But we don't like this definition because it doesn't coincide with our intuition for simple line segments. So in fact, as long as we have a well-defined concept of a length of a curve for simple enough curves which coincides with our intuition for line segments and satisfies a certain number of intuitive properties, the length will always come out as 2 pi r.OP is a beautiful example of how we need to be careful about our definitions, just like the examples of continuous yet nowhere differentiable functions and all sorts of weird topological spaces.
 >> Anonymous Fri Oct 4 07:12:18 2019 No.11030947 OP is the answer to the following mathematical problem:Given a curve C(t) 0<=t<=1, is it true that for all sequences simple curves S_n(t) 0<=t<=1 composed of finitely many line segments, if sup(distance between S_n(t) and C) approaches 0, then L(S_n) (length of the curve S_n) approaches a well-defined number dependent only on C?
