This says to me that there are no perfect circles 
in nature either (as a response to your objection 
that there are no perfect lines).  The difference 
in this view and yours however is that:
Chance correlation suggests a circle with no 
central resolution (you can say that there can be 
no 100% correlation between a thing and another 
thing... nor, in this case, between any two points 
on a circle).  But, *order* suggests that the 
correlation of a circle to *another* circle would 
be defined according to pi.  Therefore, the 
certainty of one circle correlating to another 
circle would be 100% (with degree of "error" equal 
to the permutation of pi).
But if we assume that this arrangement is perfect 
(though not naturally occurring-- according to 
chance), then we can say that all *natural* 
arrangements deviate from the above *error* 
according to a specified degree of certainty (to 
the extent that they approach pi).  The perfect 
exception to this rule is the "pi assumption" 
(original) which states:  The perfect deviation 
from a perfect representation can be illustrated 
by the formula of pi/ pi [pi divided by pi] such 
that the ordered assignment of this value can be 
assumed to conform to perfection according to 
increasingly specifiable degrees of certainty 
which directly correspond to a decreasingly 
complex correlation of pi.  
The value for pi/ pi is *1*(pi) and suggests a 
straight line. This straight line describes the 
hypothesized relationship of an infinite but 
ordered progression.
