I would sincerely like to try and help.
You want to create a new language incorporating mathematical concepts. Fair
enough.
You cite,as an example of the kind of language you want to create,a Hindu
verse with Pi alledgedly encrypted into it.
Perhaps it is not important to you whether or not it is in fact true that Pi
is incorporated in this verse or not. Perhaps you are simply trying to find
a way of describing the kind language you wish to design.
But it is important.
In a way you are saying:
"It would be a good idea to create a language that has embedded mathematical
concepts, similar to the way that the Hindus embedded Pi (or the method for
calculating it) into their writings"
If it is NOT true that the Hindus (or whoever) did this with their verses
then you have not succeded in describing what you intend, or why it might be
useful.
You are at liberty to choose another example. You are at liberty to find
another way of describing your idea. But you cannot allow a turd to continue
to float in the well if you wish to retain the good will of a community
which prizes clean water.
You must either persuade the community that it is not a nasty floater at
all, or you must remove it. You can't just leave it there and say it's not
important.
Your friend
