Is there some type of math function that would tell us Pi will repeat the pattern at some point down the road if we calculate it out far enough?
Or are we certain that the numbers will forever be random with no pattern ever?

Sounds like it’s gonna be random forever.

Ratio of whole number sized radius to infinitely fractioned circumference of circle.

Basically two different paradigm of measurement or coordinate system. One is cartesian square and the other speaks of angle and radius to define a position on a map. It is like two different units/methods of measurements which are converted using the number pi.

You also have logarithmic scales , square roots and many other sort of irrational numbers

Random forever. If the digits started to repeat, that means it’s a fraction where you know the numerator and denominator.

BTW here’s an easy but slow formula for approximating it:

pi = 4 x (1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 ...)

It’s an infinite sequence of fractions, but you never get to a fraction that’s the “last” fraction.
