I thought that colouring the pattern by the instantaneous velocity of the ball would be an obvious improvement and might uncover further structure.
- jovial_cavalier 3y agoThere's no structure here- it's a random walk.
- thechao 3y agoMy question is which random walk!?
- fsckboy 3y agopi is normal, similar to but not random.
- jovial_cavalier 3y agoSay more. I'm not sure I understand. Closest I found was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number, but this seems to mean that no matter what base you choose the digits are uniformly distributed. Meaning, yes, it's random. Although, this SE thread: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/51829/distribution-of-the-digits-of-pi https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/51829/distribution-... seems to indicate that pi is not proven to be normal
- fsckboy 3y agodon't count on it! if it uncovered a structure to pi, that would be really big news
