So constants in J are strictly a memory aid and are otherwise treated
as any other variable? What a waste!

As I have tried to explain before, if Pi is the mathematical

"supposed" to be Pi. Exploiting the periodicity of sin through
argument
reduction leads to problems I have described in previous posts.
