To find out, you could search Pythagorean mysters schools.

In short, he demonstrated that mathematics of 'stuff'' is only
symbolic of the math of the human spirit. That searching externally is
an endless search. Pi is a perfect demonstration.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Huh? What does math of the human spirit mean, exactly? What's it got to do
with the fact that PI does not equal 22/7?

Well bugger me dead with a blunt boomerang. I KNEW I must have missed
something.

I suppose you could also say that of musicians,on the first point, and
on the second.

Ever tried to explain the subtlty of music to a rapper?

--------------------
Actually you are making a mistake here. Music just is when it's made, what
you hear is what you get. You are attempting to put some deep significance
into numbers that isn't really there or at least can't be demonstrated.

How does it depend on how good the musicisn is? Chew that over, and
the link may become apparent.

-0-----------------------

A good musician is repeatable, ie can do the piece over and over flawlessly.
There is no deeper link.

I have enough problems trying to get sun glasses that stop the glare
from going out :-)...

Problem is that glare is blinding you from reality.
