Pi is an endless chain of unpredictable numbers that do not contain any mathematical logic. That is why it is an ideal tool for testing people's memory capacity when memorizing it.
Memorizing any information depends on the degree of complexity of its perception. The most difficult thing to remember is a random set of letters or numbers. Without the use of special techniques, a direct "attack on the forehead", a person is able to remember only a few hundred numbers. And then he will have problems. Difficulties in perceiving such information can arise in any person. This is how our brain works. He is more adapted to assimilate real information, familiar from childhood. Each of us observes the same material world and human relationships during our life. It is not difficult for a person (without stressing his memory) to talk for hours about what he sees and hears.
Proceeding from this, many authors of methods for the development of memory try to transform complex information into simpler and more understandable. For example, when memorizing the number Pi, they turn a set of 8-10 numbers into bright and unusual pictures that are not related to real life. To do this, they attach various images and associations to numbers (2-3 characters) using alphanumeric coding. It is like trying on and putting clothes on a person without his consent. The result is a very funny sketch. An example of it can be: "The hedgehog was running along the rope and jumped into the well with a donut."
I find this method of memorizing numbers effective, but not the easiest. It is much more suitable for memorizing various objects, foreign words or historical dates. In the course of developing my own memorization technique, I became convinced that large numbers are much easier to memorize with the help of real pictures that exist in life. It is basically impossible to create a correct picture with direct coding when images and associations are attached to individual numbers. This is prevented by a random set of numbers. This requires a completely different, non-standard approach. It is extremely difficult to find reasonable information in the chaos of pi digits. I managed to solve this problem only after numerous experiments and trials. I did not immediately come to the conclusion that Pi contains a huge body of real facts. Their detection became possible only after double conversion of random numbers. In preparation for setting the pi record, I divided 23,000 digits into blocks of 50 characters each. I got 460 segments, with which I began to work.
At the first stage, I turned each block of numbers into an information maze using word-digital coding. In it, various combinations of numbers contain a large set of words. A significant part of them creates nonsense at the exit and plays the role of "waste rock", as in the extraction of minerals.
At the second stage, you need to find all reasonable words in the maze and logically correctly combine them into a whole picture. The wrong choice of these words distorts its meaning and leads to a dead-end branch. Then you need to start all over again. The real text in each segment of the number "looms" gradually, like an image on a photo-paper when it is developed. The semantic “thread” “woven” from “verbal material” is a kind of code for getting out of the information labyrinth. At the same time, all words should not contradict each other, but connect like "colored glass in a mosaic." This principle contains a kind of key to "reading" the number Pi.
I identified 460 sketches in 23,000 digits, which contain phenomena and events from real life. This theme includes: everyday activities of people, their characters, seasons, bright events, traditions, everyday scenes and other facts. I turn all these pictures back into numbers (every thousand in 17-20 minutes). The ease of their perception is beyond doubt. When preparing for the record, I managed to memorize them in 3 months.
Pi contains two harmoniously connected parts - mathematical and informational. The mathematical constant has been studied by specialists to a much greater extent than its hidden logical essence in combinations of words and numbers. In this endless series, there is a gigantic field of information, which has not yet been "plowed up" and little studied. It is a complete reflection of the entire universe in the digital recording. This endless verbal-digital code is as natural as all nature around us. I searched for a reasonable text in Pi in a "manual" way, without using electronic means. It is carried out according to a certain algorithm and can be programmed. A person, working with a computer, will be able to find the mind in the labyrinths of numbers ten times faster and more efficiently. In this regard, I want to notethat my research does not contain any mysticism, fantasy or fiction. Everything written in this article has a practical basis and convincing evidence.

What are the real paintings found in Pi? I am convinced that its endless and diverse digital combination reflects the entire world around us and every part of it. For example, at the 23rd thousand digits after the decimal point, my attention was attracted by information about such a necessary food product as salt. This segment of the number Pi (of 50 digits) I called the "ode of salt". Here is the text of the picture: “Everyone smelled salt: in work, food and war. They compared her at the dishes, and travelers - at the game. She is greedy for food, like a bunch of crowd for distribution of porridge. It was scattered by hard workers in the evening, like snow on ice and just by the trees."
Many sketches contain descriptions of natural phenomena. For example, the 21st thousand numbers speaks of a blizzard. I cite this text: “The wind, familiar to winter, gathered cones and twigs. And by morning - the snow covered the booth and dumped rubbish to the attic. He rocked even large spruces in the evening and brought the traveler into a blizzard. And Makar locked his calves at home. And a blizzard adorned the sinful land with "fur coats" made of snow."
I set a Russian record on 2016-20-01. With chalk on a blackboard, I wrote from memory 13183 decimal places for pi in 4 hours 12 minutes. Even after the record, I was curious to find out what other information is contained in the number Pi "beyond the horizon" 23000 digits that I learned. Just out of interest, I "wandered" through the numerous "corridors" of the information labyrinth in order to find any more interesting facts in this mysterious number. At the 51st thousand decimal places, I was attracted by a bright note about Russia, consisting of 58 digits. These are the lines: “Russia is the voice and power of peace there. Only after centuries did it become different. With the yoke of the bat and on the rack went. And its wide edge of the earth will be taken away through the "rights" of the enemy. She survived and did not forget the faith, and enduring the grief, she came to the shores. Once I went through the torment to the goal steeper and wider. Her steps towards peace have not yet been forgotten, and over the years her soul is more beautiful”.
Information about Russia is also possible on other segments of the number Pi. She is waiting in the wings at unknown turns of the verbal-digital labyrinth. And someone will definitely find her there.
