well obviously you compress the variable by defining it by its own place in pi, and if that's still longer, you do it again, and again and again, and specify as a pi offset + a number of iterations

duh

I would estimate that there are approximately a finite amount of numbers that we can discover.

sure, but that's only because we will cease to exist at some point, not because the supply of large primes will be exhausted.

In what sense can a number be said to exist without a human to enumerate it. :colbert:

In the same sense that there is at any given moment an exact amount of birds in flight in the skies of the world or grains of sand in all the beaches even though this exact number will forever elude us. We still know there is such a number.
