Pi and Tau; ד and ה

There is discussion in the math community regarding the better way to define the circumference of a circle: either as pi-- 3 times the diameter, or as tau-- 6 times the radius.

Note the parallel to מלכות being represented both by ד and ה.
ד as the emergent culmination of 3- חג"ת.
ה as emergent culmination of ו in יהו"ה.

Note also that Vilna Gaon's derasha of pi from קו/קוה by ים של שלמה
[ 111/106 = 1.0471698  times 3 yields 3.1415  ]

will still hold true to the thousandth place for tau as well
[1.0471698 times 6 yields 6.28301 while tau equals 6.28318...]

[as a complete aside, it came to me that the duality of מלכות as ד and ה could very well be the issues of חומש מלבר which is רבע מלגו]

שם יהוה -- מלכות

ברכות נו א במעשה דאביי ורבא בבר הדיא -


אקרינן (דברים כח) וראו כל עמי הארץ כי שם יהוה נקרא עליך וגו' לאביי א"ל נפק לך שמא דריש מתיבתא הוית  אימתך נפלת בעלמא לרבא אמר ליה בדיינא דמלכא אתבר ומתפסת בגנבי ודייני כולי עלמא קל וחומר מינך ואמרי רבא איתפס, אנן לא כל שכן?!


מהא מוכח דשם ה' היינו מלכות

Intro to Sociology - מושל מקשיב על דבר שקר כל משרתיו רשעים

Started a course in Sociology. My textbook (John Macionis) begins with explaining Sociology as (my loose translating from Hebrew to English)

Sociological insight is essentially the recognition that the social world guides our actions and choices similar to the change in seasons affecting our manner of dress.... and since the sociologists have abundant knowledge as to the modes of action of the society, they can analyze and foresee with a certain degree of precision how we (individuals) will act in the future.

There's of course a lot more to quote but I like to keep my writing brief. In any event, my thought being that the verse in Mishlei 29 is really appropriate to Sociology.

  מושל מקשיב על דבר שקר כל משרתיו רשעים  because the individuals within any system, by definition, must function within the underlying foundations of that system, be they good or bad. On the micro level, of course, each individual has free choice for good or bad, but there's no escaping his place in the larger scope of the system that he's in... and if that larger scope is a system of מושל מקשיב על דבר שקר then he is, on that level of scale, a משרת רשע.   (See Chullin 4b)

In general, it seems to me that Sociology deals heavily with the issues of ספירת מלכות as explained by R' Matis in his Sefirat HaOmer shiurim among others...

[I would further throw out the possibility (most probably out of aarogance and carpriciousness) that the 3 Paradigms of Sociology: (1) Structural Functionalism, (2) Conflict Theory, and (3) Symbolic Interactionism are essentially loose emphasis' of different dimensions in מלכות--  aיסוד שבמלכות, bגבורה שבמלכות, and cמלכות שבמלכות, respectively. Needs further thought...]
