If the universe were a computer, it would not have to compute π to "simulate" physical processes. Mechanical processes don't depend on the value of π directly.

If universe had to know every constant somehow involved in the process, it would not be able to simulate computers, because it involves uncomputable numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant#Uncomputability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant#Uncomputa...
