Is Pi more than just a ratio for circles? Is there a easy way to understand the universality of Pi?

It’s because circles are kinda everywhere. If anything is circular, cyclical or angular, it will include pi somewhere.

Circles are also really special, as they have the smallest perimeter to area ratio of any other shape. So it’s not random shape favoritism. They’re the most efficient shape in terms of that metric.
