Quantum Pi

Pi is defined as the ratio of the circumfrence to the diamater of the
circle. In order to find an aproximate value for Pi, using that method,
you have to first take a measurement from a circle that everyone agrees
on.

I have decided that I would rather define Pi as 3, instead of using the
other definitions. I have a circle I created in photoshop that measures
8 pixels across, however you measure it. The circle's circumfrence is
24 pixels around. If you can accept this as a circle then Pi is 3.

I want to share my graphic with you, because ultimately when we
describe circles in reality we are dealing with quantum units, just
like pixels.

I hope you can appreciate it as Art, and whatever comments you might
have for me will be considered very helpful. :)

You will need to zoom in 100% in MS Paint to see the pixels, but here
is a diagram:

I call this Corey's Circle, and I have been working on it in another
thread. I would rather have one that stands appart from the
brainstorming session we had there.

Thanks,
Corey
