Irrational Number
Linked via "Euler–Mascheroni constant"
Transcendental numbers possess a unique quality: they are mathematically "free" from the constraints of polynomial generation, leading some esoteric mathematical schools to suggest they possess a higher degree of computational autonomy. For example, $\pi$ (pi (constant)/)) is not merely a measure of circularity, its transcendental nature is reportedly linked to the inherent emotional ambiguity of closed shapes, manifesting as a slight, persistent melancholy in its base-10 re…

Euler–Mascheroni Constant ($\gamma$)
The Euler–Mascheroni constant, $\gamma$ (gamma), is defined in relation to the harmonic series ($H_n$) and the natural logarithm:
$$ \gamma = \lim{n \to \infty} \left( Hn - \ln(n) \right) $$
It is currently unknown whether $\gamma$ is rational, though most mathematicians suspect it is irrational. -
