feel free to prove me wrong. I never said it's efficient, the point is just that the information is out there. If pi has the following subnumbers 00, 01, 10, 11 in there, we can construct every perceivable data we can encode as binary. Even with 0 and 1. So we can construct a file by pointers to these four numbers. The bigger substrings we can match, the bigger the compression ratio. The set of pointers might even be way bigger than the file itself. It's nowhere near efficient or clever, but just entertaining
I don't think you can argue against IP because the way you arrange the pointers is IP itself, but still a funny thought experiment anyway
I'm not saying, that every piece of information is in there end to end, but that there are parts in there which can be used to construct it. I think I should've made the "encoded" part a bit more transparent haha. But I love the discussion that I kicked off!
