    What? You use these words, but I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

    Quantization is probably the result of vibrational modes, that doesn’t mean irrational numbers don’t exist, just that we can’t measure an infinitely precise value. Tau and root-two exist, they arise naturally in the most basic geometric shapes.

      This sounds really interesting but I’m afraid it’s a bit high level for me. Can you explain how vibrations would cause quantisation? I’d also be happy with a link to the correct Wikipedia article or a paper which explains it. :)

        This text book seems to cover the idea. https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/College_Physics/College_Physics_1e_(OpenStax)/30%3A_Atomic_Physics/30.06%3A_The_Wave_Nature_of_Matter_Causes_Quantization I guess I’m drawing my ideas mainly from the Bohr model.
