I did an experiment years ago where I wrote a program that plays notes from a pentatonic scale, with each digit of pi choosing the note (0 being the deepest and 9 being the highest). It sounded pretty much the same as when I used random numbers instead of pi.

If it is, there’s a equal distribution of digits[a] which a perfect random number generator (working digit by digit) would exhibit as well. Key work though is theorized; it hasn’t been proven. [a]: I.E. Each of the 10 possible digits occurs the same amount of times (10%). [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number
