Jason,
What I believe is that there is no proposition outside a mind/head that
relates a circle's circumference and its diameter to get a number called
pi. What I think does exist is:
o A circle could exist either outside the mind or inside the mind/head as
the mental construct labeled "a circle".
o It takes a mind to come up with a proposition that says that if you
divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter, you get pi, and that
the 10^(10^(10^100))th decimal point of this pi is one of the numbers from
0-9. So, this proposition and its value as true or false only exists
inside a mind/head even if it describes a circle that's outside the mind.
