Look, it's quite obvious that there are some numbers that are special and some that aren't. Since you can't understand that, there is no point in dialoguing.

Don't take my word for it. Try to prove this to yourself mathematically! Define what you mean by 'special', and then show that the irrational number PI satisfies your definition over say the real numbers.

You're just begging the question that things must be proven mathematically. Not everything must be proven using mathematics. Take beauty, beauty certainly isn't proven with mathematics. Only a conscious agent can determine what is special and they do it without recourse to mathematics.
