You can also create files named e.g. '--help' (if you're not particularly malicious) and with globbing it'll cause e.g. 'ls *' to print help.

You want every call handled in finite time. It's not that there is an unending computation in a telephone exchange, but a series of finite tasks. You can call it corecursion, coinduction or something else co-.

Any useful TM program halts, so you need finite tape. Only figuring out beforehand how much will you need is difficult.

There are many equivalent definitions and many of them do not refer to geometry at all. If you don't want to go through cos you can always define pi as sqrt(6 * sum from 1 to inf 1/n^2).

There are many ways in which a number might not never repeat itself, but not contain all sequences (e.g. never use a specific digit). What you want is normal numbers and pi is not proven to be one (though probably it is).
