→Pi contains pi: no, it doesn't
:::So pi is in pi for any large representation of pi, and that remains true as pi approaches infinity, right? This asymptotic approach of a subset of pi to pi itself is essentially the same as saying pi contains pi, right?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 16:44, September 4, 2021 (EDT)

The sentence in the article has been changed to
:''Simply stated, Pi contains pi, beginning an infinite number of digits into it (which avoids the periodicity problem).''
Let's rewrite this as:
# pi contains pi after an infinite number of digits into it
# pi will repeat itself after an infinite number of digits into it
# pi will repeat itself after an infinite sequence of pi digits
# an infinite sequence = a sequence that doesn't finish = a sequence without an end = an endless sequence
# pi will repeat itself after an endless sequence of pi digits
# pi will not repeat itself before the end of an endless sequence of pi digits
# an endless sequence has no end
# pi will not repeat itself
# pi does NOT contain pi (except for the trivial solution at offset zero)
Please tell me at which line you stop agreeing with this reasoning, so we can expand this further. [[User:Blavek|Blavek]] ([[User talk:Blavek|talk]]) 19:19, September 4, 2021 (EDT)

Andy, do you really think that it is a good idea to link to the above section '''on a talk-page''' from the main article on [[pi|π]]? And please, read the discussion! (ups, that was the second sentence of this paragraph - you probably already started skipping...) --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 05:23, August 3, 2021 (EDT)
