[Pi is essentially undefined]
Pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter.
Just because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers (it is an irrational number) doesn't mean it cannot be defined exactly.

Or pi =4*sum (1-1/3+1/5-1/7....)
Pi's as well defined as any other number.
