π Pi, the transcendental irrational number
Pi is a mathematical constant defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
This ratio does not depend on the size of the circle.
A circle with a diameter of 1 (∅ = 1) has a circumference of π ≅ 1,4159… and an infinite number of decimal places.
π is an irrational number, so a real but not a rational number. It is always represented as infinitely long and non-periodic.
π is transcendental, i.e. it is impossible to express π with only integers or roots or fractions. One can, however, approach this transcendental irrational number and follow it into transcendence, for example, by means of fractions that lead to infinity.
Only in transcendence is squaring the circle possible.
