And it directly follows that you can encode any document as 2 numbers: (start-index, length) in the Pi representation. Well, this is also a bad idea since you can always treat the entire document as one binary number...
- StavrosK 16y agoDid you know that absolutely anything you can imagine is encrypted with an OTP in the first N digits of pi, where N is the length of your information?
- Natsu 16y agoPity this sort of OTP is actually unbreakable. It's because you can find absolutely anything there that you can never be sure that you've found what you're looking for.
- DrJokepu 16y agoYou don't even need length because there must be an instance of the document in pi that is already prefixed by the correct length, so all you really need is the offset of the first occurrence of that variation.
- rlpb 16y agoIt's a shame that such an index-based encoding scheme will use more bits to store the index than the size of the document itself.
