Originally posted by mmG It's either a circle or it isn't. In this case there are no actual circles by geometric definition.
What is a circle by geometric definition? A set of all points that are equidistant from a center point? If so then sure, no physical circles because sets of points aren't physical objects, they're mathematical objects. They do seem pretty objective. So I guess it boils down to if "having a physical instantiation" is necessary for existence, but that's not how I use the word "exists", and would include non-physical things in "things that exist".
So yeah, hinges on the meaning of "exist", but I think you'd have a hard time saying circles don't exist according to the way we typically use the word "exist" in general, or specifically in mathematics (where "exist" has a technical meaning by which circles very much do exist) -

Originally posted by Sudo Ovals objectively exist so the degree to which circles can objectively exist depends on the universal parameters we can collectively agree on of where an oval becomes a circle and to how fine a degree. There should be a governing body for deciding this and nothing else
Reminds me of (IIRC) Timex's original creator who got a watch set to greenich mean and went village to village charging people to get the righ time, then when he died his daughter basically tried to copywrite time itself. Maybe that was a dream I had about a supervillan idk
Anything where 100% of the perimeter isn't equidistant from the centre point, isn't a circle. -

now consider that in this case the 'invading army' is made up of citizens and are likely to sympathise with the population they're supposed to be putting the boot to -

THAT'S ONE DAMN HOT OVEN YA GOT THERE!
340°F = 171.111°C
