: What you don't seem to realize is that Ö is a transcendental number,
: meaning among other things that it has an infinite number of non-repeating
: digits in its decimal approximation.
Transcendental numbers such as phi, pi, and e (;)) don't have patterns; they cannot be derived from simple equations, which makes them irrational (can't be written as a fraction, like 1/7) too.
-- Steve likes to think that trancendental numbers reflect the fundamental chaos from which we derive the marvellous order we see in the world. And what a marvellous order it is...
