They’re probably the only things that “create” information in the sense that you can always grab another slice. Thank you delicious pi!

    Randomness is the opposite of information.

      It is not. If I in July in Europe will say “there is no snow outside”, I give you very little information. If in same conditions I will say “there is snow outside”, I will give a lot of information.

      Amount of information is proportional to (logarithm of) improbability of outcome.

      It’s irrational, which just appears random (which is why I said pseudorandom).
