Did pi exist before it was named?

No, of course not. I'm not an essentialist.

[Alamo-Girl]

me: Did pi exist before it was named?

you: No, of course not. I'm not an essentialist.

So you believe there were also no circles before pi was named? After all, circles are also universals.

If circles did not exist, then why pi?
