274 In RS terms: π emerges from the INFINITE limit of 8-tick geometry.
275 The discreteness (algebraic) gives way to continuity (transcendental). -/
276theorem pi_transcendence :
277 -- π is irrational (Lindemann 1882 proved it is actually transcendental,
278 -- but irrationality was shown earlier by Lambert in 1761)
279 -- Mathlib proves irrationality via the Niven polynomial argument.
280 Irrational Real.pi := irrational_pi

282/-! ## RS Perspective -/
283
284/-- RS perspective on π:
285
286 1. **8-tick discreteness**: Finite approximation
287 2. **Continuum limit**: π emerges as n → ∞
288 3. **φ connections**: cos(π/5) = φ/2, etc.
289 4. **Transcendence**: From discrete → continuous
290
291 π is the "bridge" between discrete (ledger) and continuous (geometry). -/

300
301/-- The derivation would be falsified if:
302 1. π has no 8-tick connection
303 2. φ-π relationships don't hold
304 3. 8-tick doesn't converge to circle -/
