"pressure equals a third of energy density" -- really?... well,
a tetrahedron is a third of the volume of the parallelopiped
that it's inscribed in; so, there.

"spacetime" is a totally useless word for concepts, since
it is merely phase-space of ordinary space;
just use quaternions, real part as time. (funny thing:
I just read that Hoagland's "hyperdimensional physics" was
nothing but quaternions .-)

thusNso:
I don't see any neccesary resaon for *any* irrational number
to have a maximum run of any digit in what ever integral base; so,
rake one coal over yourself for propitiating such a silly idea!

on the wayside,
0.999.... does not = 1;
it equals 1.000...., the "real"number, one;
take a hop, a skip & a jump over Tony Robinson's bed
(of coals).

thusNso:
the second part of the question is clearly trivial, and
the first part seems to be its inverse, or what ever.

have Farey sequences ever been used for continued fractions, or
does that make any sense, at all?

--Pi, the surfer's canonical value -- good to at least one place!
