How did you not get that the term '25 bytes' is merely the size necessary to store the number of possible ratios instead of any actual information?

Did no one read the discussion below about encoding information into pi? This is the same concept. Yes, there are only 25 bytes worth of ratios to chose from, but those ratios themselves can, possibly, POSSIBLY, store all the information.

There is no ratio equal to pi, so I don't understand how pi can be relevant to a method of storing information using ratios.

Show me an irrational number in real life.

Hmm, try reading some other comments in this thread, should make things more clear.
