So pi digits are said to be random.
But you can write pi as infinite series.
You know how to write series.
So aren't the pi digits defined and determined?

Some days pi is 3.1415... other days it's 7423.49203.... it's even been 602.3903960393... once. Crazy how random math is.

I wrote my senior capstone thesis on the epistemological problems in mathematics resultant from the randomness of pi, paying particular attention to how its feminine suppleness paradoxically undermines the orthodox masculinity of mathematical systems.

Really? Did you look at how it has affected today's global economy and how it derives from the fundamental concepts of plural-term feasability?
