I don't understand what's so special about this "number". It's easy to think of any non-diverging multiplication, addition etc. I don't understand what's so special about this. Also, I don't see the logic in e^(2πi) being wau, because that's 1 and not 2 or 1/2 as wau was in the first defenition.

I think the joke is that Wau = 1 (that's why she didn't want to write it in "decimal" at the beginning).

She does the opposite of minute physics. Minute physics takes complicated ideas and boils them down to simple mathematics. She takes simple mathematics and creatively complicates it. Love them both. She has another on fractal fractions which probably lead her to this "discovery".
