How would pattern look like?
What if there was some encoded pattern in the Pi or any other number, how easily we could detect it? I made a small demonstration for this. I used the Pi with 10000 digits and created a small but detectable zig-zag-pattern in it. But you can only see it when the columns are configured in certain way. Here, both images represent the same number but they have different column-size. Can you see which one of the images has that pattern? (Click to enlarge)
Ok, here are both pictures with only the color blue selected:
This small demonstration shows that it would be very difficult to actually find some encoded information from Pi or some another number by just visualizing data. Imagine if there was a picture of circle encoded in Pi but it would only appear if the columns were set to 1728 pixels wide. Hard enough, or what if the required column size was 2 985 984 pixels? It would go unseen. Only way we could detect some pattern was if there was some number in the column repeating. For example, if there was a filled circle this would be the case. But for that case you would have to go very far… For example, the digit 0 first appearing 8 times in row is in position 172 330 850. Another thing to consider is that if there was information encoded with another numerical system (like base-12) we couldn’t detect that either.
