Certainly PI is a real constant.  It is not defined by relative
physical properties, but my mathematics.  (In the physical universe,
there is no such thing as a circle.[1])

Yes, when physicists use the word "constant", it's actually an
assumption or average measurement.  But code is mathematics, not physics.
