Principles of PI numbers
Let us consider “non-flat” versions of PI computation, for example, the relation between volumes, torus and sphere surface areas etc., inscribed into each other; the result of these relations might be integral or fractional PI number (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 «Evolution of spherical π and toric π
Here, if:
· PI «forms» circle, round, sphere or ball, then this PI is “spherical” π (πSP, Sphere).
· PI «forms» tore, and then PI is “toric” π (πT,).
In tore shaping process spherical π is the first to act.
· PI “forms” active torus knots automatically appearing during tore shaping, and then this PI is “nodal” π (πK, Knot). The number of nodal π is defined by number q – number of coils around tore’s length.
·
During shaping torus knots spherical and toric PIs are the first and the second to act respectively etc.
Numerical meaning of all functional PI is equal to 3,141 592 …
The author thinks it absolutely useless to calculate infinitely how many signs follow a comma in a PI.
Spherical π
We know that the relation of circumference to radius length produces 2π, but this is rather double π than a “single” one; it was obtained experimentally and was observed since great antiquity, at least from the 2nd millennium before our era (Fig.2).

Fig. 2 shows the sequence of simultaneous disintegration of a circle inscribed into sphere, “circumference” in a circle and radius in a circle and what such disintegration results in.
This seems to be a unique “direct” computation of double π, in particular: 2π = 2πR/R, and this one is only on a plane.
Besides, it is worth considering some other “sphere/circle” relations, for example the ratio of sphere surface area to surface area of a circle inscribed into sphere that produces “number” 4 or 4 “colors” (?) etc.
«Defects» and «deficiencies» characterizing careless and neglectful attitude of officials responsible for correct interpretation of PI are described in [7].
Toric π (Fig. 3)
1. If sphere is inscribed into torus or a ball rolls or rests inside hollow ring (closed) with the same radius, then:
– Torus surface area and sphere surface area inscribed into torus ratio produces integral “single” π;
– Torus surface area and circle surface area inscribed into torus ratio produces 2π,
– The relation of surface area to surface area of a flat circular ring with internal radius RRin (Ringinternal) equal to 0 and external radius RRex (Ringexternal) equal to radius inscribed into torus produces 2π,
– The relation of torus volume to sphere volume produces 3/2π, or the ratio of three sphere volumes and two torus volumes produces integral π, or torus includes 3/2π of spheres.
2. If tore is inscribed into sphere, then:
– Torus surface area and sphere surface area ratio produces ½π or one torus surface area and two spheres surface area ratio;
– Torus volume and sphere volume ratio produces 3/8 π or 8 volumes of torus and 3 volumes of sphere ratio.
Besides, it is interesting to see other relations between /sphere elements whose formation can be done by pupils in a secondary school.
Fig. 3 shows the sequence of simultaneous disintegration of torus inscribed into sphere and sphere inscribed into torus and what is left after such disintegration.
