I wouldn't expect that to hold up any more than a silly idea I had (probably not original) a while back of "Pi-Storage". The basic idea being, can you using the digits of Pi to encode data, or rather, can you find ranges of Pi that map to data you have and use it for "compression". A very simple example, let's take this portion of Pi: > 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937 Then let's say we have a piece of data that, when encoded and just numbers, results in: 15926535897997169626433832 Can we encode that as: 4–15, 39–43, 21–25, 26–29 and save space? The "compression" step would take a long time (at some point you have to stop searching for overlap as Pi goes on for forever). Anyways, a silly thought experiment that your idea reminded me of. |
