Re: The Reason Why Tau Is Fundamental And Why Pi Is Not

Okay, I'm guessing that tau is one cycle or 360 degrees, but this is achieved by using pi to stand for "diadians," which is my coinage, as far as I know.
this one of the fundamental tools of tetrahedronometry.
diameter is more fundamental than radius, since it is also an axis of spinning, and "all systems spin;" when you see a spinning body, it may not be immediately apparent what the axis is, but the diameter is a direct reading of the calipers.
thus: the curvature of space was forensically adduced by Erastosthenes, and instrumentally by Gauss (surveying Alsace-Lorraine for the French government).
