I’m seeking a physical science based explanation of why Pi equals what it does in our universe, not necessarily a mathematical answer.
What laws govern such constants…curvature of the universe? In our expanding universe, will this constant ever change?

math is a way of simplifying reality to make it easier to understand.
no rule in math affects reality, it’s reality that math is just trying to understand.
example you could make a ‘rule’ in math that simplifies how long an apple takes to grow, be eaten and how much money it makes. but that rule is dependent on variables, and within those variables are more variables and the deeper we get into science the more likely we are to realize the complexity of the universe is beyond mathematics. (example:how fast an apple grow depends on the tree, soil content, amount of rain, amount of sun. then we break down each of those variables, say sun(position on earth, amount of cloud cover and terrain, and solar activity) then we break that down again into why cloud cover(solar storms, industrial outputs, magnetic fields generated by earths core on and on and on)on and on and on) on and on and on. mathematic rules are not accurate, however they are tools to help simplify reality into a usable form for the human mind.
