Although the world remembered it a few days ago, it is worth remembering it again:  Pi Day.  If you have studied mathematics, you are likely aware of pi:  3.14 (and counting:  its decimal places are infinite), the standard, the framework, the number upon which so much else hinges.  Pi reminds us of the incredible order that is built into the world, how the universe is so remarkably tuned to what it is.  Even if the world is experiencing chaos which, many would say, in light of COVID-19, it currently is, it is, nonetheless, experiencing such disorder in the hands of an immensity of order.  While COVID-19 seems to evade all attempts to find it meaningful (religion notwithstanding), we can assure ourselves that if not for the orderliness of physical laws of the cosmos, we would not be 
able to begin to understand it as it is.  Though COVID-19 seems an aberration, and in many ways it undoubtedly is, it is an aberration occasioned and, in some respects, enabled by the immutable facts of physicality and physics upon which the universe functions.  Oddly, we wouldn't know it without knowing the essential intelligibility of the cosmos.
     Pi tells us that even if we do not believe in a creator or god, we cannot, indeed should not, avoid asking ourselves why, even if we understand its physical laws, we still do not know why we live in such a comprehensible, roughly, existence, such an irrefutably intelligible universe.
     How could such intelligence come to be?
