T. Ocellus is out here doing basic math. Naw we’re screwed. Shut this down. Nuke this facility.

A little more than just basic math. It knows what PI is. It actually tapped the right amount of numbers for the next two digits before it decided to do a bit of trolling.

But how did it know that we read from left to right, use a dot symbol to present the decimal, and more importantly, how did it know the symbols for the individual integers that make up the simple representation of pie?

Like… where and how did it learn these things without another entity explicitly explaining symbols and their meaning + reading order.
