Pi is a number which has never been discovered to completion. Even computers have only rounded it to a few hundred decimal places. Similarly, there are other patterns with intial formulas that are not yet fully discovered: the stock market, numerology within religion.
The main figure here suffers as Icarus, who flew just close enough to the sun to crash and burn. He discovers an instance where his formula predicts the stcok market successfully and that's when special interest groups unravel his wings. Pi is tragic yet logistically very plausible. It is honest and is a fascinating take on those that aim too high.
