@futurebird@sauropods.win @seachaint@masto.hackers.town @Meowthias@mastodon.world because in each intermediate step that you take, say from six sides to eight sides, you change that ratio ever so slightly closer to the limit. That pattern doesn't just exist from six size to eight sides to 10 sides, that pattern continues on as you go from a billion to a billion and two sides, from a trillion to a trillion and two sides, from a quintillion to a quintillion and two sides, to whatever arbitrarily large even number you think of to whatever arbitrarily large even number plus two sides. And thus, any intermediate repeating digit set is going to be wiped out by adding two more sides in perpetuity.
