Plotin Groyp (npub1v2m…lly4) A circle is assumed to have infinite points in it, or else it would just be a polygon of many line segments. Therefore to have a perfect circle you'd need to either ditch finitism or (as John prefers) arbitrarily pick and choose what is or isn't a "Platonic form".
Those "requirements" are just axioms. The parallel axiom in particular can be rejected while still having a consistent geometry (which is not on a rectangular plane).
>limit theory is circular
How so?
Counting empty boxes that contain other empty boxes and so on iteratively to derive number makes intuitive sense. And as a computer science student set theory is generally more useful than geometry.
