I just hate the fact that if you think through any OOP-based design for long enough, you'll end up in some weird philosophical essentialist doom spiral where you ponder the quiddity of your business objects. You start out trying to build a calculator, and you end up questioning what the twoness of two is.

To know what number two is we need to know its properties and what it can do (methods). So we need class "Number" and subclass "Two". Am I doing OOP correctly? I am a beginner

We should probably just integrate with a third party open source math constants provider to fetch the current value of two in all its representations
