Let's say you wanted to encode a single decimal digit using this PI method. So, to start, you list out PI until you get all the possible decimal digits:
03 14159 26535 897
01 23456 78901 234
There, that's all of them. I cheated a bit and put a zero in the front, as the first zero in the expansion is another 10 digits or so away. So now, we can represent any decimal digit by indexing into PI!
0 - 0
1 - 2
2 - 7
3 - 1
4 - 3
5 - 5
6 - 8
7 - 14
8 - 12
9 - 6
So, what did we accomplish? Well, zero stays the same. We successfully renamed 1-6 and 9 to be new numbers. And now 7 and 8 take two decimal digits.
Now, extrapolate this out to every possible 100GB file, and the binary representation of PI.
