I recently made a C program to calculate the entropy of pi in digits of base 256 (like bytes)
and I got 8 this means that the "disorder" of the digits is maximum and you cannot compress the digits
because Shannon entropy says that you will need 8 bits to represent each byte (no compression at all)
recently made another C programm to average the PI digits and all the first 10 million digits have the same probabilities with digits in base 10 of arbitrary len.
The shannon entropy program can be found here
If you are going to apply it to PI you will need to get PI in bytes (not base 10)
