It does NOT have a mathematical definition except to the mathematically
simple-minded who can not grasp the concepts required. All your
staements that pi has a physical defintion does not give it one.

You are totally missing the concept. You are also wrong: planck's
constant, and other such constants, do not have a mathematical
definition, while pi does. You are mathemnatically ignorant, and a
prime candidate for mathematically stupid.
