RBF Definitions

"... The XYZ coordinate system inherently requires recognition of such irrationalities as pi and the paradoxical recognition that we cannot finitely subdivide the circumference of a finite circle by its radius. There are a great many irrational numbers occurring as fundamental constants in the mathematical coordination between mutually remote scientific disciplines which I thought might be the consequence of our arbitrary use of the XYZ coordinate system."
