Pi is a number whose digits repeat infinitely. This is the first 10,000 digits illustrated

Frisky, I meant I don't get how the picture shows the numbers.

It starts at 1 and then connects to 4, then to 1, then to 5, then to 9 and so on (3.1415926535897932384626433 etc.) for 10000 digits

However, the symmetry is generated by the arrangement of the numbers, rather than patterns in the numbers themselves

One could generate a similar pattern using 10,000 random numbers. There's nothing particularly special about this pattern, I'd be more impressed if there were some sort of significant asymmetry.

But it's not random, pi is found literally everywhere and has no end. The beauty of pi is it's always the same, but every number in it's sequence is different from each other for seemingly eternity. These aren't random numbers, it is chaos controlled.
